"Your daughter is not with me."

The moment I heard this, I felt like I had been struck by lightning, and my whole body froze and couldn't move.

He said- What?!

Leaving the ......

Just when my mind was blank and I almost lost my reaction, Pei Yuanxiu behind me frowned, stepped forward, and held me behind him with one hand, staring at Yan Qingchen: "How could Li'er not be with you?" ”

Yan Qingchen hooked the corners of his lips and looked up at him without any emotion.

Protected by one of Pei Yuanxiu's hands, but at this moment I was already a little unsteady, grabbing his arm with one hand, but he staggered a little and wanted to turn around and walk back, he felt it, hurriedly turned around to help me, and said in surprise: "Qingying, what's wrong with you?" ”

I was so pale that I didn't even look at him, my whole body was trembling, and even my voice seemed to be fragmented when I spoke: "I, I'm going to find Li'er!" ”

"Li'er? Li'er wasn't by him—"

"No!"

I shook my head and looked at him in despair: "Li'er is not here." ”

“……？！” He looked at me with a frown.

"Li'er is not here."

“……”

"He, he won't lie to me."

His eyes narrowed.

"He never lied to me." I grabbed Pei Yuanxiu's arm and grabbed it hard, and my voice was already dyed with crying: "Li'er is not here." We were mistaken, let's hurry to find Li'er! ”

Pei Yuanxiu's brows twisted into a Sichuan character, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Qingchen: "If Li'er is not here, then why is your ship driving so fast, we sailed at full speed, and we didn't catch up." He walked up to Yan Qingchen and looked down at him: "Your people are walking like they are fleeing, why?" ”

Yan Qingchen smiled faintly: "Because, I want to see my sister soon." ”

Pei Yuanxiu was stunned.

Yan Qingchen was still smiling at him, and the corners of his mouth were faintly hooked, like an inconspicuous, but sharp blade.

Slowly, a chilling smile appeared on Pei Yuanxiu's face.

"He is worthy of being the head of the Yan family."

Yan Qingchen looked at him, sneered, and said, "There are many people who want to marry my sister, and you got it." ”

“……”

"You'd better show me what you're doing."

The last sentence was almost provocative, but he said it so calmly, but the sharp gaze in the dark pupils seemed to be able to stab people, Pei Yuanxiu first froze when he heard this, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face.

After staring at each other for a moment, he turned and reached out to help me.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Yan Qingchen say softly behind him, "Sister, don't go." ”

Pei Yuanxiu stopped, my steps froze, and I slowly turned my head to look at him. He sat in a wheelchair with his hands on his knees, looking up at me, his dark eyes full of me.

For a moment, it was as if I had been pulled back into a dusty memory.

The man in front of him...... It's like the boy in my memory.,No matter what I encountered.,What's going through.,Will hold me.,Stubbornly shout-

Sister!

Sister!

Sister......

I was in such a distant voice that seemed to be in my ears, and I was in a trance that I could barely distinguish between reality and illusion.

At this moment, Pei Yuanxiu suddenly reached out and pinched my wrist: "Qingying? ”

“……！” I turned my head to look at him, as if I had suddenly woken up from a dream, his brows furrowed, but he still asked me softly, "Are you alright?" ”

“……”

I couldn't speak, I only took a deep breath, and then turned my head to look at Yan Qingchen.

One qiē, it has long been different.

Just look into his eyes and know it's just a fragment of my memory.

He was no longer as simple as the kid he remembered.

He wanted to see me, he wanted me to go back to Xichuan obediently, and the painting was enough to shake me, and after we started sailing, he asked his people to sail with all their might, and in that case, I had no way to calm myself down and think. I thought I was chasing their boat, but in fact, I was "urging" by him to return to his side faster.

If I'm not mistaken, he went to Jiangnan at all, but he didn't show up from beginning to end, but he held me firmly in his hands.

I didn't even see him, and I lost to him again.

The longer I stayed by this person's side, the colder I felt, Pei Yuanxiu seemed to feel my trembling, stretched out his hand to protect me in his arms, and said, "I'm going to find my daughter." ”

Yan Qingchen smiled faintly: "Where are you going to find it?" ”

“……”

"Or, who are you going to ask for?"

“……”

"Your daughter disappeared more than a month ago, even if you can fly back now, what good is it?"

“……”

He smiled faintly, let the wheelchair walk in front of us, and said, "There are things that can't be done for a while; Some things should be closed if they drag on for too long. Sister, do you say yes? ”

Without Li'er's whereabouts, I was already upset at this moment, and looking at his quietly smiling eyes, the irrepressible anger in my heart rose little by little.

It was Pei Yuanxiu who gently squeezed my hand.

I looked up and saw him bowing his head in my ear, and said softly, "His words are not unreasonable. ”

“……”

"Since we didn't find Li'er at that time, now, it's not something that can be solved urgently."

“……”

I didn't speak immediately, looking down at the hand he was holding my hand. Actually, I wasn't looking at anything, I was just forcing myself to calm down, not to face this calmly, but to think calmly about what the two of them said.

Indeed, it was more than a month ago that Li'er disappeared.

During the time we sailed to Xichuan at full speed, how many things happened, and where she went, it was not at all a matter that could be solved by returning to Jiangnan and sending someone to search.

Pei Yuanxiu said softly: "I will send a message back and let them inquire about the news." This matter is not in a hurry. ”

“……”

"Huh?"

I was silent for a long time, looking up into his eyes, and he was looking at me too, serious and focused.

I hesitated and spoke: "Yuan Xiu......"

Looking at his focused eyes, I only felt that my heart was a mess at this moment, and my lips trembled, but I couldn't say a word.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps sounded from below, as if someone was hurrying up the tower.

He and I were shocked at this moment, as if we had suddenly woken up from a dream, and hurriedly looked down, but saw a person hurrying up along the wooden ladder, and when I looked up and saw us, I was shocked, but immediately saluted us thoughtfully: "Miss, Pei Gongzi." ”

It's Li Guo, at this time, what did he run up for?

I looked at him suspiciously, and he had already walked in front of Yan Qingchen again, and said respectfully: "Family master." ”

Yan Qingchen was obviously a little surprised, but he just raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "What's the matter?" ”

"There's a boat on the other side of Sanjiangxia."

"What ship?"

"Official ship."

He spoke in a low voice, but the two words that were an understatement were like a huge stone being cast into a pool of still water.

Yan Qingchen also raised his head: "From the imperial court? ”

"To be exact, it's from Yangzhou Mansion."

"Yangzhou Mansion?!"

I was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward: "You said that the official ship of Yangzhou Mansion is here?" ”

Li Guo turned to me and said in a proper manner: "If you go back to the eldest lady, it is the official ship of Yangzhou Mansion." ”

"Who's on board?"

"Yangzhou Mansion Yin."

I only felt that my breath sank, and Pei Yuanxiu also walked to my side, thoughtfully: "He? ”

The corners of Yan Qingchen's mouth hooked up a faint smile: "Interesting." ”

The already chaotic thoughts became a mess at this moment, I looked at Yan Qingchen, and then at Pei Yuanxiu, and I couldn't guarantee whether I was calm or not, so I only followed my subconscious and said: "What is he doing here?" ”

Li Guo glanced at me.

I was frowning slightly at his eyes, when I heard Li Guo say in a deep voice: "He said that he sent Miss Leave to reunite with the eldest Miss." ”

"What?!"

I screamed.

Yan Qingchen and Pei Yuanxiu were also shocked, the two of them didn't speak for a while, I already reached out and grabbed Li Guo's arm: "You say-"

"Miss, on his boat."

“……”

As soon as Li Guo's words fell, there was no sound in the entire Sister Gui Tower, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing the surrounding painting papers was blowing, but it became more and more silent here, and almost everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.

Yan Qingchen's long and heavy, and Pei Yuanxiu's suppressed ups and downs.

And I, at this moment, my heart was beating so much that I could barely hear anything.

Leave! Li'er is on his boat!

At this time, there was no room for me to think about "why Li'er was on his boat", "Are they all together these days" and "what happened", I didn't have time to think about it, only the sudden ecstasy swelled in my heart, almost bursting open my chest, I covered my mouth at once: "Li'er ......!" ”

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu turned his head to look at me, and a smile appeared on his face: "Look at you." ”

As he spoke, he gently hugged me as I was about to cry.

Yan Qingchen sat in a wheelchair, just looking at us coldly, and at this time, Li Guo leaned over and presented something in front of him: "Family master, this is the greeting post handed by Yangzhou Mansion Yin." ”

Yan Qingchen took it and opened it to take a look.

"How long has it been since his ship reached the mouth of the gorge?"

"Counting the time when the post was sent, today is the tenth day."

"Buckled?"

"Buckled."

"Heh......" He smiled faintly and looked at the worship note pinched by his fingertips: "There are people from the imperial court who have come to visit me." ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at me: "Sister, do you think I can't see him?" ”

"......" I choked in my throat, and before I could speak, Li Guo said again: "However, he has one condition." ”

Hearing this, Yan Qingchen raised his eyebrows, as if smiling: "Conditions? ”

My mood was also a little complicated for a while.

The relationship between the imperial court and Xichuan does not need to be repeated, especially now that Jiangnan is divided into two, Yao Lao betrayed the sect, Liu Qinghan and Pei Yuanxiu, Pei Yuanxiu and Yan Qingchen, the relationship between this is almost shocking, he went to Xichuan this time, it has been unexpected by everyone, what Yan Qingchen wants to do to him depends entirely on temporary interest.

How dare he open conditions?!

Yan Qingchen said: "What are his conditions?" ”

Li Guo said: "His condition is that the eldest lady must go to Sanjiangxia to greet Miss Li in person. ”
