Pei Yuanxiu didn't say anything, but just looked at me for a long time. His eyes were as deep as the bottomless pool, and he wanted to swallow everything about me.

Then, the corners of his lips suddenly curled.

"certainly."

A low but magnetic voice sounded in my ears. Although it was just two very light words, it was like a Sanskrit sound in hell to me, which was enough to save my soul. At this moment, I felt that the blood in my body, which had been frozen into ice, began to flow wildly. The surging feeling seemed to be about to break the person, but it hit me so hard that I couldn't say a word, and I just looked at him stupidly.

A little smile appeared in his eyes: "Of course I am..."

For a moment, tears surged up and his eyes filled with his eyes. His appearance blurred in front of him.

Yuan Xiu...

Yuan Xiu!

In the tears, he seemed to be able to see his faint smile, but his voice lowered a little, and he said softly in my ear: "Why, I'm still scared to tears?"

As he spoke, he raised his index finger and carefully wiped the corners of my eyes. At this moment, the tears that had not yet dripped were wiped out by him, and they came out of their eyes, boiling and surging, like a flood that broke through the dam. He tsk twice, held my cheeks in both hands and kept trying to wipe away my tears, but it was futile and attracted another wave of surging.

He sighed lightly, lowered his head, and ironed my eyes with his lips.

The gentle lips and wet tongue gently touched my eyelashes, licking away the scattered tears little by little,

Afterwards, I felt a little embarrassed. At such an old age, even my daughter was so old, and she would cry out in fear. After he held me in his arms to comfort me for a long time, I still couldn't help sobbing and trembling. Yuan Xiu didn't say anything, but just smiled and comforted my back with his hands.

After a long time, he whispered in my ear: "I know what you are worried about. But if we don't let them down now, we will suffer a big loss first, and Yuanfeng will not be able to get it."

I nodded gently: "Yeah."

"I didn't discuss it with you in advance, so I'll scare you."

"……Um."

"I'm sorry, it's okay."

"Um."

"So," he smiled, and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes with his thumb: "Now, are you okay?"

I blushed a little, bit my lower lip, and didn't say anything, but reached out to hug his waist.

The body in my arms seemed to have a little stiff.

Then, he slowly raised his hand and stroked my head.

I pressed my face against his chest, remained silent for a long time, and said, "Yuan Xiu, thank you."

He chuckled: "We are all husband and wife, are you still telling me this?"

I looked up and looked at him, and met those smiling, gentle eyes. I didn't say anything else, just smiled gently, and then buried my cheeks in his arms.

My heart was trembling slightly as my wet eyelashes rubbed his chest.

He didn't understand why I cried, nor did I understand why I said "thank you" to him.

He didn't know what this meant to my almost barren heart.

No matter what-

Yuan Xiu, thank you.

|

Although his chest was solid and warm, now is not the time for me to stay for a long time. After calming down, I finally stood up in his arms. Although he was still a little reluctant, he just gently wiped my wet cheeks with his thumb.

I said softly, "Then, what are your plans?"

He reached out to wrap his hand around my waist and whispered in his ear: "They must want you to convince Yuanfeng."

“…”

"And we will be left as hostages."

“…!”

My heart trembled suddenly, and I immediately opened my eyes and looked at him: "No, no!"

"Nothing can do it." His hands slightly locked my waist and said solemnly and lowly: "At this time, we have no choice."

"But--"

I was so anxious that I was sweating. He was right. At this time, we did not have a choice in this situation. But I couldn’t help but think that other people have the ability to protect themselves, only my Lier - she is so young, and letting her get in touch with war is already my mother’s negligence. How could I let her stay as a hostage?!

"Qingying."

"No, no!"

"Qingying!"

In his heavier tone, holding my hands slightly and exerted force. I suddenly pressed onto his chest, raised my head to look at his firm eyes, as if I could not avoid it, facing my own predicament in front of me.

He looked at me, was silent for a moment, raised his hand and pointed at my eyebrows with his index finger: "You can't be emotional."

“…”

"Otherwise, nothing will be accomplished."

I looked at him in pain, feeling so painful that it seemed to be on the fire, my brows twisted into a lump. Pei Yuanxiu held my waist with one hand and held my hands in front of his chest with the other, and said to me gently: "As long as we can succeed, everything will be fine, but if we give up now, then all of this will be over."

...

He and I stayed in this tent for more than an hour.

Later, someone finally came to invite us. I looked at Pei Yuanxiu. He took my hand and walked out to the big tent just like when he came.

As soon as I entered, I found that Liu Qinghan was also standing inside with Li'er.

When I saw them, I felt that the psychological defense I had just made had broken through at this moment. I hurried over. When Li'er saw me, he immediately rushed over and hugged me: "Mom!"

"Li'er, are you okay? No one bullies you, right?"

"It's okay, Mom, Uncle San has been with me all the time."

I stroked her face and her head carefully, and made sure that the child was not abnormal, so I raised my head and looked at Liu Qinghan. He was very calm and had been silent since entering the military camp. At this time, I just nodded slightly at us, indicating that everything was fine.

It seems that Hu Muhan and Yu Zhen also tried their best to win over us, and they can treat the people around us with courtesy.

However, if they knew Liu Qinghan's identity, they would probably not be so polite.

At this time, Humuhan and Yuzhen, who were sitting directly above, walked down and looked at us and said, "How are you discussing?"

Pei Yuanxiu and I looked at each other, and then I said, "I can go and explain this to the Shu army surrounded by you."

“…”

There seemed to be a moment of silence in the big tent.

Liu Qinghan glanced at me.

However, he still said nothing, but Hu Muhan's eyes burst into ecstasy. The mouth buried in his thick beard could not wait to crack and laugh, and said loudly: "Okay! OK! OK!"

He said three "okays" in a row, and then stretched out his hand at me, wanting to pat my shoulder, but immediately remembered that I was about to be slapped by him before, and then withdrew my hand. I couldn't help but pat Zhan Zhen's shoulder: "That's great!"

Compared to his ecstasy, Zhan Zhen was very calm. His amber eyes were shining with a strange and quiet light, and he kept looking at me.

I continued, "But I have a condition."

“What conditions?”

I looked back at Pei Yuanxiu, and saw that he just nodded, then gritted my teeth and said to Humuhan: "I want to take my daughter with me."

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere became a little strange and depressing.

Humuhan and Zhan Zhen looked at each other, and after a while, Humuhan patted the latter's shoulder and smiled: "You are really not wrong." As he said that, he turned his head to look at me: "But we just happened to tell you that anyone can go with you, only this little girl, you must stay!"

My heart suddenly tightened.

Li'er, who was standing beside me, held my hand, blinked her big eyes, looked at me, and then looked at them, looking at them with a confused look on his face.

I said in a cold voice: "What do you mean?"

"What does it mean, Miss Yan should understand."

Zhan Zhen walked up calmly and said, "I asked you to go back to persuade the Shu army to cooperate with us. If you have two hearts - of course we must have someone in our hands to ensure that you will not do anything randomly."

"But it's not good for you to keep—"

"It's not good to keep anyone," Zhan Zhen said: "A mother should do anything for her child. So we don't keep anyone, just your daughter."

"Then-" I gritted my teeth and said, "I asked my husband to convince them that I would stay with my daughter."

"Miss Yan, it's already this time. I think we should stop talking anymore." Zhan Zhen showed an impatient expression and waved his hand decisively, as if he wanted to cut off my unrealistic thoughts. He said coldly: "You are the Miss Yan family, but your husband - it seems that the Yan family has not yet recognized him."

“…!”

"Even if you admit him, how could the Shu army be ordered by a person from another surname?"

“…”

“We only 'believe' you."

I was almost about to spurt flames in my eyes. Facing such a person who hit me with weakness everywhere, I could do nothing. I looked back at Pei Yuanxiu. Although he frowned, he was still calm and nodded slightly at me.

Before, the guess we made in the tent was indeed correct.
