Alan's face moved slightly.

I looked at her calmly and said, "Sister Lan, you said before that you didn't come for nothing, that's always a little bit of a reason. You also said that the people from your Miaoshan Sect are doing business and you need money when you take action. Who ordered you to come? Or who asked you to come?"

She raised her eyebrows and the expression on her face became playful: "What are you doing when you ask this?"

"I want to know."

"But I don't want to say it."

I was stunned by her.

But when Alan raised his eyebrows and glanced at me again, his eyes couldn't tell whether it was kindness or something else, so he turned around and looked outside. At this time, our convoy had passed the last level, and the tall boundary marker on the road slowly moved backwards as we advanced.

We have left Shaanxi.

The road under my feet is still flat, but I can already see the distance of the setting sun, as if the end of the earth, the mountains are undulating, the terrain is steep, and the danger of Xichuan gradually opened its veil in front of me.

The atmosphere in the car also became a little stiff.

As if he felt his attitude, Alan turned his head and looked at me after a while. His tone did not ease much, and he just said calmly: "There are some things that you should know before it's time to know, so it's best not to know, otherwise, even if I say it, it won't make any sense to you."

I really want to ask her back - do you know when is the time "I should know"?

However, she had already spoken first, and I can't be too aggressive. After all, two days ago, she and Ye Fei rescued us from Nangong Jinhong's hands. This situation is like having a short hand.

So the two of them fell silent again.

We stopped talking, and Susu and Zhao Shuyuan naturally would not say anything. Zhao Shuyuan's fever had subsided, but she was not very awake and had been sleeping heavily in the corner. Alan turned around and looked at her, sneering, "I heard people say that those empresses in the palace were all prosperous and wealthy, but who knew that it was really like this."

As she said that, she looked at me with a smile: "Sometimes, I really know people but not my heart."

I felt that her words meant something, and after thinking about it, she asked, "Sister Lan, at that time, you didn't tell me anything and just left."

"What's there to say to you?"

"But didn't you tell me now?"

“…”

"I don't think you hate me and have no prejudice against me, but sometimes, I think your attitude is very strange, especially at that time, why did you part with me in a bad mood? I asked myself that I didn't do anything wrong."

She sneered: "You still feel that you have done nothing wrong?"

“…”

"If you did not do anything wrong, why don't you stay in Jinling and be your expensive wife?"

“…”

I was stunned for a moment, and finally understood something: "You - because I decided to marry Pei Yuanxiu at that time, so I was that kind of attitude towards me?"

“…”

She glanced at me coldly again, without saying a word, turned to look out the window.

I also became quiet for a moment.

Looking back, I came to my senses. It seemed that Alan had always been very bad at Pei Yuanxiu, especially when I got along well with Pei Yuanxiu and even decided to get married, she even blamed me. So she had already found Yue Qingying's death, but she didn't tell me to leave.

I asked her: "Why?"

“…”

"Why are you so hostile to Pei Yuanxiu from the very beginning?"

Alan blinked her eyes and turned her head to look at me. She looked a little serious, but her voice was still full of coldness and ridicule: "You know, I'm a runner-in-the-world."

I don't know why she suddenly changed the subject, but I nodded immediately: "Yes."

"I have seen all kinds of evildoers, and I have never been afraid of these people. No matter how cruel their methods are, I have never been afraid of killing people without blinking."

“…”

"But that Pei Yuanxiu, he is different."

“What’s the difference?”

Although I also know that he did a lot of things on my back, he still looks like a handsome nobleman, and he can't be more terrifying than the evildoers on the Green Forest Road.

Alan thought for a while and said, "He looks like an immortal, but he travels to hell."

“…”

I suddenly shivered.

Immortal, hell...

The first time I heard someone put these two words together and the first time I heard someone use such words to describe him-

When I recall the elegant man, no matter what I experienced with him later, how resolutely I left him and left Jinling, but what I think most often now is the purity and peace of mind when he was in the inner cabinet, and he was in a peaceful and peaceful manner and was invincible with the world.

What is it that pushes him to today step by step?

I was silent for a while and said softly: "Is this the only reason?"

Alan raised her eyebrows, as if she was surprised by my keenness. She raised her lips and smiled, and said in a charming voice: "As for other reasons, you think about it yourself."

After saying that, he put his arm on the window frame and looked outside, as if he had made up his mind to ignore me anymore.

I also closed my mouth with tactfulness.

Time passes day by day, like a journey under our feet, passing quickly.

After passing Aoki River, the road became difficult to walk, and the carriage could not move forward anymore. We could only ride horses, and in some places we could not even ride horses, and could only walk on foot. This was nothing to Susu and me, and Alan did not have any effort, but taking Zhao Shuyuan would be a little trouble.

We suffered a little along the way to take care of her.

It was not until Jiange that the road became a little easier to walk.

The official road built by the imperial court ended here. The people from Shaanxi no longer gathered on the same road, but scattered everywhere. The road was not so crowded. Just looking at the backs of those mountain roads, people couldn't help but sigh.

These people are really like floating duckweeds on the sea. They don’t know when they will gather or when they will separate. If the world can be more stable, maybe they can be more stable.

However, no matter what, after entering Sichuan, we basically breathed a sigh of relief. Although Pei Yuanxiu and Nangong Jinhong's people were amazing, I knew they were unlikely to enter Xichuan, and they even talked about attacking me in this place, so everyone relaxed a little.

Although the road is easy to walk, another trouble has come.

We don't know the way very well.

Neither the coachman nor the leader Wenhu had entered Sichuan, and the road in Shu was rugged, so he could easily lose his direction. Although I had walked these roads, it was a lot of years ago, and it was quite difficult for a group of people to walk.

That afternoon, it was actually early. It was already bright, but after a gust of wind, dark clouds gathered above my head and the sky became darker.

Shu is a wet and rainy place, especially in summer, such sudden rain is very common.

After a while, heavy rain fell.

I quickly put on the straw raincoat, but obviously no matter what the use was used in such heavy rain, my clothes inside became wet in a short while, and Su Su and the others were even more embarrassed. But at this time, we walked to a fork in the road, and there was not even a place to shelter from the wind and rain around.

At this moment, Wenhu saw a person standing next to the fork in front of the road.

The man was also wearing a straw raincoat, unable to see clearly in the dense rain curtains. He thought it was a scarecrow standing by the roadside, but he seemed to see us as well, and immediately took two steps to the middle of the road, smearing his face with his hand, as if he wanted to see us a little more clearly.

Wenhu said, "I'll go and ask for the way."

I nodded and said, "Be careful."

He got off the horse and walked over with the reins. As the sound of rain was rumbling, he heard him say loudly: "Brother, we want to ask--"

Before he could finish his words, the man suddenly said, "You are Miss Yan's team?"

“…”

We were stunned.

This person knows us?

Wen Hu frowned and looked back at me. It was probably the several attacks he encountered along the way. He immediately became cautious and took a step back: "Who are you?"

"Is it really the Miss's team?"

The man looked happy and said in surprise: "The villain has been waiting for you for a long time."

“…”

He looked up again, looked at me, and immediately raised his foot and walked towards me. Wenhu hurriedly let go of the reins and walked over. When he was a few steps away from me, he stopped him: "Who are you?"

The man only looked up at me, leaned over and saluted respectfully: "Greetings to the eldest lady."

I frowned slightly and looked down at him: "You are-"

"Miss, the little man came here to wait for the lady."

“…”

"Miss, it's very windy and rainy here. If you get wet, I'm afraid that the lady will not be able to bear it. There is a place to shelter from the rain in front. Please follow me!"

After saying that, he didn't wait for us to ask him again, and hurriedly turned around and walked forward, walked to the road in the middle of the fork, pointed to the front and said, "It's not far ahead."

Wenhu frowned and looked at me: "Miss Yan, this--"

I raised my eyebrows: "Let's go."
