Take care......

When I finished saying this, I looked at him and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, as if thousands of miles of waves had turned into an invisible sense of dazedness at this moment.

In fact, at this moment, nothing is already superfluous.

No, I can't say anything more.

A look of sadness or joy flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at me, it seemed that this deep and boundless sea was infused with too much sorrow and seemed to be able to contain all sorrows.

I smiled faintly.

He smiled too.

Then, I put down that hand, turned back to the boatman who was already a little uncomplacent, stared at my boatman with wide eyes, and said calmly, "Go back to Childe's boat." ”

“……”

The man was completely stunned, looking at me stupidly.

"Go back to Childe's boat."

I repeated it quietly.

The man seemed to have woken up from a dream, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, madam!" ”

At this time, the sea breeze whistled between the two ships, raising gusts of waves, and I had already heard a deafening sound from the distant Tianquan Island, like a loud roar of a beast, resounding in the sky, but at this time I didn't even have the strength to look up to see what had become of that mountain, the power of nature was so huge that all the people here could not imagine, let alone reach. The waves gradually surged, and I felt that the narrow boat under my feet continued to rise and fall with the waves, as if it would be overturned and swallowed at any time.

Feeling the hull of the boat slowly spin and turn to the huge ship on the other side, I lowered my eyelids and sat down slowly on the side of the boat.

And at this moment, a cold, but indescribably depressing voice came from overhead—

"Don't you want to see me?"

This voice is not very loud, maybe because he is standing on the boat, we are at the bottom of the boat, the sound has drifted away when it comes down, but it still seems full of energy, even if the mountains in the distance are cracking, even if the waves are choppy, it can't hide this sound piercing straight into the hearts of some people.

My heart jumped suddenly.

But immediately, he frowned slightly.

He's talking to me?

But—

I hesitated for a moment, slowly turned around, but did not look up at him on the boat, but looked back at the small boat that was not far from me, Pei Yuanfeng walked around his back with one hand and hugged Xue Muhua's thin body, and the other hand held her slender pale hand tightly in front of him, the faces of the two people were bloodstained, and their hair was scattered, which looked a little wolf.

Hearing that, Xue Muhua suddenly looked at him a little nervously.

And Pei Yuanfeng kept his head down, and his dark and dull eyes looked at the undulating sea steadily, but there was no trace of waves.

When I raised my head again, I saw Pei Yuanhao holding the fence with both hands, looking down condescendingly, the turbulence of the sea water was also reflected in his eyes, and in the same way, he couldn't set off any waves, only a frozen pitch black, looking at Pei Yuanfeng fixedly.

That sentence was addressed to him!

My heart was pounding.

I still clearly remember how Pei Yuanfeng competed with Pei Yuanhao in the cold palace for me, and later in Yangzhou for me, and even I clearly remember that Pei Yuanhao said that after he knew that I was forced by the emperor to jump ship and commit suicide, he asked people to send him a broken arrow, so he hid in Xichuan and did not return to the "third brother".

They originally had the same ideals, even if so many changes happened at the beginning, and the two of them faced it together, but now they ...... A qiē is already a thing.

But Pei Yuanhao's words-

I also looked at Pei Yuanfeng a little nervously, but I didn't wait for him to make any response, and the high emperor spoke again.

"You don't have anything to say, you want to talk to me?"

“……”

Pei Yuanfeng's palm was slightly forced, and I almost saw Xue Muhua's hand fall into his palm, almost pinched by him to the point of whiteness, maybe it was also painful, but Xue Muhua always gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, but slowly stretched out his other hand, covering the back of his hand softly.

The atmosphere is as tense as the mountain on Tianquan Island last night, maybe the next moment, it will explode.

However, Pei Yuanfeng was still silent and did not speak.

Pei Yuanhao looked at him quietly, then looked at Xue Muhua who was with him, and said, "I know that you are already getting married." ”

“……”

"I'm glad to see that you can let go of the past."

“……”

"When a man gets married, he should start a business."

“……”

"Yuanfeng, do you still remember what kind of great cause you wanted to set up with me when we conceived together?"

“……”

"Do you remember your original intention?"

“……”

Speaking of which, I have known their brothers for so many years, and I have not spent much time with Pei Yuanhao, it seems that I rarely see him say so many words in one breath, and in such a situation, the wind and waves are turbulent, and the mountain fire in the distance is smoking, he and Pei Yuanfeng are on such a high boat, and the other is on the boat that is constantly drifting and rippling, surrounded by the Zhoushan Landscape Master and Pei Yuanxiu's sea boat who are completely facing each other in a position, he is actually unhurried, not flustered, and asked about Pei Yuanfeng's original intention.

Initial ......

I thought back in a trance, when I was on the boat heading south, when I asked him why Empress Yin and Pei Yuanxiu had fled the capital in defeat, but he did not leave with his mother and brother, but stayed by Pei Yuanhao's side, at that time, how did he answer me?

He said: Qingying, maybe in your eyes, I have always been like a child, but in fact, I also have my own ambitions......

He said: I also hope that I can depose the untouchables in the south, let the Han people and our people outside the customs become one, and let the north and south of the Celestial Empire integrate, only in this way can the Central Plains usher in a truly prosperous era......

He said: Although I am closer to the queen mother, my ambition and that of the emperor are the same......

That's his original intention!

Now, Pei Yuanhao asked his original intention, hoping that he could return to his side!

Not now, at the beginning of his wedding hall, the picture of a wagtail and jade silk sent by Wu Yanqiu was also to show him that no matter what happened and how much happened, he had never given up on this brother.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get nervous, leaned on the side of the boat and turned my head to look at him, watching him sit quietly on the dinghy, without saying a word, hanging his head and saying nothing.

How will he respond?

Not only did I have such worries, it seemed that everyone around me had them, and even the Xiao Yusheng brothers, who had been moving the boat to the other side, stopped, letting the wind and waves stir the boat up and down, they all turned around and looked at Pei Yuanfeng fixedly.

I don't know how long it has been, maybe it's just the length of a breath, or maybe it's been a long time, but at this time I think too much, I recall too much of the past, and the passage of time is not so obvious, I saw Pei Yuanfeng's pale face slowly raised, and the tiger eyes that had stayed up all night flashed with a little streamer, and looked at the figure on the boat.

The moment he saw that figure, he fell silent.

Even, even the hand that held Xue Muhua's hand slowly relaxed, as if he had let go of a burden that had been pressing on his heart for a long time.

"My heart hasn't changed," he said. ”

“……”

"Never changed—"

At this time, I felt that the people around me were obviously in chaos, and even Pei Yuanxiu and the people around him on the boat on the other side also subconsciously moved.

Xiao Yusheng's hand on his back had already been lowered and hung down at his sides.

Pei Yuanhao was the calmest of these people, he held the fence with both hands, still looking down at his fifth brother, but I don't know if it was my illusion, maybe because the distance was too far, I was dazzled at all, and his hand holding the fence tightened slightly.

At this moment, Pei Yuanfeng continued: "But I have changed. ”

……

All the wind and waves seem to be still at this moment.

All of them are also fixed on this moment.

Obviously, all the rumbling noises had died down on the west bank, but for some reason, I felt as if a thunderbolt was coming from the heavy clouds and billowing black smoke overhead, and I was a little dazed.

He said - he's changed!?

He has changed!

Yes, it has been so many years, and he has changed from the young and vigorous Fifth Prince, who would disregard a-for-tat confrontation with the supreme of the current dynasty, to a general who is now calling for wind and rain in Xichuan, and even manipulating a side of soldiers and horses, fighting to the death with the 200,000 troops of the Eastern Chahe Division!

After so much experience, how can people remain the same?

I don't know why, when I heard his words, I didn't feel sad for some irretrievable past, nor did I feel sorry for the changes in the world, but I was sad for him at this moment.

Pei Yuanhao, who was standing on the boat, was still calm, although his clothes were constantly fluttering in the wind, but his whole person was like an ice sculpture, exuding a chill standing on the bow of the boat. Hearing Pei Yuanfeng's words, he didn't react, but he was silent for a long time before he seemed to sigh in a low voice.

Then he said, "In that case, then you can go." ”

After speaking, the hand holding the fence was raised, and with a slight wave, Pei Yuanfeng and the boatman holding the oars at the stern of their small boat immediately nodded respectfully, then turned the bow of the boat, and headed towards the other side, Pei Yuanfeng and their sea boats.

And immediately, it passed by me.

I saw that his face was extremely pale, and even gave people the illusion of a layer of frost, Xue Muhua, who had been sitting beside him in a panic, and who had relied on him to calm down, held his hand at this moment, hugged him, and gently stroked his arm.

In this way, there was a trace of vitality on his face, and he lowered his head and smiled faintly at Xue Muhua.

Then he turned his head and saw me.

I also saw behind me, Pei Yuanxiu's huge sea ship.

Compared with Pei Yuanhao, who has been living in the deep palace of the imperial city for a long time, their pair of brothers are not so angry, they just nodded to each other, but after nodding, he seemed to hesitate slightly, and looked back at me again.

As soon as his eyes met, he said, "You want to go back to the second brother?" ”

I nodded.

He glanced back at both sides again, then whispered to me, "Don't worry, you can't fight." ”

Before I could react to what he said, I saw him look at me again and said with a complicated expression: "What if, I mean, they fight?" ”

His question, and his expression, made people feel a little inexplicable, but I didn't hesitate, only smiled faintly, and said, "Even so, it won't change anything." ”

With that, I glanced around.

Liu Qinghan had already been helped onto the boat by them, and as soon as he stepped on the deck, Pei Yuanzhen immediately rushed up to protect him, eagerly asking long and short questions, especially when he saw his already bloody wounds, tears suddenly flowed out, Liu Qinghan was obviously ready to faint at any time, but a faint smile still appeared on his pale face, and he said something to comfort her.

Pei Yuanfeng's boat, Xiao Yusheng's boat, and the flying clouds across the sea have been getting closer and closer, and the waves stirred up by their boats have even risen on the sea.

And Pei Yuanxiu was still standing at the bow of the boat, looking at me quietly.

Waiting for me, too.

Everyone must choose their own destiny and choose their own path.

I calmly said to Pei Yuanfeng: "This is the path I chose." ”

This time, he didn't speak again, just looked at me with a complicated expression, and there seemed to be a little unspeakable surge in his eyes.

I smiled.

In fact, these words are all afterthought, and this time, as he said, it can't be fought.

As far as Pei Yuanxiu is concerned, his strength is definitely not at sea, and such a fleet may be able to come out and put on a formation, but compared with the Zhoushan Shui Master who has been trained for so many years, he is indeed in a disadvantageous position this time.

However, it was Pei Yuanhao who reversed this situation.

He appeared on the sea with the honor of ten thousand vehicles.

I don't know if he calculated or didn't count today's encounter, but at least in the current situation, his appearance is indeed a less clever move.

I told Han Zitong before that it is impossible for the emperor to appear in these places lightly, because he is the foundation of the country, and he can't be a little dangerous, otherwise not only the capital, but the entire Celestial Empire will be in chaos, and this time he appeared on the sea, originally because the Zhoushan Water Master was enough to protect him completely, after all, although the East China Sea was chaotic, those pirates were really just a group of rabble compared to the Zhoushan Water Master.

But on the contrary, Pei Yuanxiu also appeared.

Even, the fleets on both sides met in such a narrow way.

If he really wants to fight, it is difficult for Zhoushan Shui Shi to say that he will lose, but Pei Yuanhao's safety is more important than winning or losing at sea.

I remembered that when Liu Qinghan and Pei Yuanxiu agreed in Wangjiang Pavilion before, they had set a deadline of "ten years at most, three years at least" for the peaceful coexistence of the two sides.

No matter what the significance of that deadline is to Pei Yuanhao and his new policy, and whether it will affect this encounter at sea, but, the son of a daughter can't sit down, I, as the Miss of the Yan family, and Uncle Ai blame me for living in a human shot, and he, the Ninety-Five Supreme, will not fight lightly from time to time when he is still within the scope of other people's attacks.

For Pei Yuanxiu, in fact, his concerns are the same.

No matter how great the cause is, it can't compare to your own safety in front of you.

After all, Pei Yuanfeng is a royal nobleman, and he also understands this routine, so he is almost certain that this battle will not be fought.

However, if you can't fight now, what about the future?

Am I going to have to make a choice about whose ship to get on in such a situation?

Pei Yuanfeng kept looking at me, and seemed to see the flickering light in my eyes at this moment, and the look of almost struggling, I also glanced at him, but didn't say anything, only waved his hand lightly.

The boatman at the stern of the boat also waved the oars hard, and our dinghy accelerated more and more to move forward, seeing that our boat was gone, Pei Yuanfeng's boat slowly moved away from here and headed towards his sea boat.

It was quiet all the way.

Not only was there no one urging in front of him, no one was drinking behind him, and even the sound of the waves seemed to be suppressed.

I didn't look back, I didn't look, when my dinghy left, when I looked at them with my back, what kind of eyes did the people on the boat look at me leaving, maybe it was hot, maybe resentful, maybe there was a hint of happiness and relaxation, but when I looked at them with my back, in fact, I couldn't see anything.

Yan Qinghan's words make some sense.

When I close my eyes, I can't see the raging waves, and when I turn away, I don't care about the road I came from, how the flood is.

There may be a big war in the future, but I may not live to see it, so why bother at this time?

The guards had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw me coming, I could clearly hear that everyone was relieved.

They said, "Madam, my subordinates have been waiting for a long time. ”

I smiled faintly, didn't say anything, only stretched out a little soft hand, and they hurriedly stepped forward and helped me to the sampan.

I don't know if it's because the qi ē is really coming to an end, the prostration in my body came up at this moment, and I even had some illusions of difficulty breathing, but fortunately, these people were careful to protect me, even if I was weak, I was quickly taken on the boat by them.

The moment he stepped onto the deck, a cold sweat broke out of his body.

Perhaps, it has really reached a limit.

I don't even remember when I last eat, and I don't remember how long it was without eating and sleeping quietly, and it hasn't fallen down until now, which is not only the limit, but also probably a miracle, right?

I gasped and subconsciously reached out to hold the fence on the side, but when I reached out, I grabbed a warm, strong hand that held my hand tightly.

I looked up and met a pair of gentle eyes. It was hot, maybe resentful, maybe there was a hint of happiness and relaxation, but when I turned my back to them, I couldn't see anything anymore.

Yan Qinghan's words make some sense.

When I close my eyes, I can't see the raging waves, and when I turn away, I don't care about the road I came from, how the flood is.

There may be a big war in the future, but I may not live to see it, so why bother at this time?
