Pei Yi closed the door, his face darkened, and he walked to the bed curtain and said coldly, "Come out."
Xie Zhichan said in a muffled voice: "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
Pei Yi lifted the bed curtain, and the pink bed curtain fell again, covering Pei Yi's figure in the small space of the embroidered bed.
Xie Zhichan lay on his side on the bed, closed his eyes and felt the movements around him. He only felt that the candlelight in front of him lit up for a moment and then dimmed again.
My eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
She only heard the sound of Pei Yi getting on the bed, and then she heard nothing.
After waiting for a while, there was still no sound.
Feeling strange, she couldn't help but open her eyes and saw Pei Yi lying beside her, his head resting on his arms, staring at her leisurely.
Xie Zhichan blinked his eyes: "It's too late, let's take a rest?"
Pei Yi did not respond.
Xie Zhichan moved into Pei Yi's arms, lay on top of him and closed his eyes.
Pei Yi felt helpless about someone's obedient gesture.
I had no choice but to close my eyes. I had enough money for the next few days' travel, and I didn't have to sleep in the open air. I could finally have a good sleep.
But at this moment, I heard a commotion next door.
There was not only the sound of the bed legs shaking, but also the voices of men and women. Just by listening, one could tell it was a pornographic drama.
The two of them opened their eyes instantly and looked at each other with indescribable expressions.
It seems that the two of them may not be able to fall asleep tonight.
Xie Zhichan bit his lip, leaned closer to Pei Yi and asked, "Do you want to?"
Pei Yi raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile: "What do you want to do?"
Xie Zhichan felt Pei Yi's body burning hot and choked for a moment. He thought it would be better to bite his tongue.
Xie Zhichan said again: "How about——"
She hinted, but before she could finish her words, Pei Yi blocked her mouth. After a kiss, Pei Yi said in a hoarse voice: "Don't say it, I'm afraid I can't help it if you say it. Didn't you say that I have plenty of ways to make you happy?"
Xie Zhichan's face suddenly turned red, she understood what Pei Yi meant.
It was a chaotic night, but the final step was never taken.
Xie Zhichan finally understood that Pei Yi's hands could not only hold a sword and bend a bow, but also have other magical uses.
With the money, they no longer had to sleep in the open air. They bought a carriage and traveled faster, and soon arrived near Yangzhou.
As more and more refugees appeared on the road, the two of them did not dare to continue riding in the carriage, fearing that they would be surrounded and robbed. So they bought some clothes from a poor family and put some makeup on their faces, making themselves no different from the refugees on the road. Then they followed the official road and entered the territory of Yangzhou.
After entering Yangzhou, the two went to the post station first.
There were several Pei family soldiers guarding outside the post station. They were very alert to any movement around them and saw Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan approaching.
They were all ordinary soldiers. They had never seen the two men before and did not recognize who they were. They thought they were vagrants who were bold enough to steal things, so they drew their swords and stopped the two men.
Pei Yi was not angry, and thought it was a good thing that they were more vigilant.
I asked the gatekeeper if Hua Manxi was there, and the gatekeeper said that Lord Hua had gone out.
Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan just waited outside the post station until Hua Manxi came back with an oil-paper bag, and then they led them in.
The Pei family soldiers who were about to leave realized that this person was actually their master.
They were all worried about the consequences of offending the prince, and Hua Manxi comforted them: "It's okay. Didn't you see that the prince didn't want to do anything to you?"
Only then did he follow Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan into the post station.
Walking in the corridor of the post station, Hua Manxi said as she walked: "Yousi and I have been waiting in the post station for three days, and you two have just arrived. We have been unable to eat or sleep well. Where have you been? Why are you so late?"
Pei Yi thought of what happened in Chunlou and didn't want to answer Hua Manxi's question. He just looked at Hua Manxi meaningfully. Seeing that he looked very proud, he carefully protected the oil paper bag in his hand and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"
Hua Manxi said: "Fried pancakes, I went into the city early in the morning to queue up to buy them."
Pei Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Who did you buy it for?"
Hua Manxi said: "Little Liu'er."
Pei Yi let out a long "Oh", it seemed that someone finally found a way out.
Xie Zhichan didn't expect to hear Xiao Liu'er's name from Hua Manxi, so he asked him, "How is Liu'er? Is she okay on the whole journey?"
Hua Manxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, she's fine. I'll be taking care of her all the way, so naturally there's nothing wrong with her."
When Xie Zhichan saw Hua Manxi's expression and heard the tone in his voice when he mentioned Xiao Liu's childhood, she knew that there must be something going on between the two of them. However, she was happy to see this happen and had no objection.
The two entered the room of the inn and washed up.
Pei Yi summoned Hua Manxi and Liu Yousi to discuss the matter, and Danfeng also followed them into the hall.
Hua Manxi said, "The grain has arrived by water. Once it reached Yangzhou, I handed it over to the Yangzhou prefect. I only had silver left. I was worried that if I handed it over to the prefect's office, there would be nothing left for the victims, so I kept it at the post station and sent people to guard it. Fortunately, I took advantage of the porridge distribution day in the city and the victims went into the city to get porridge, so I was able to bring it here, otherwise it would have been snatched away along the way."
Pei Yi asked again: "Where is the King of Qin?"
Hua Manxi and Liu Yousi looked unhappy.
Liu Yousi said: "He must have known that there is nothing to eat here, and now he is still wandering around and playing."
Pei Yi just thought that the King of Qin was not there, so that he would not interfere.
At this moment, the official guarding the gate of the post station said that the prefect of Yangzhou came to invite him. Knowing that the Prince of Yan had arrived in Jiangnan, all the officials on the Jiangnan Road came to pay a visit. They set up a banquet at the prefectural government office to welcome the prince.
Liu Yousi listened and laughed, "These guys really know how to judge people by their appearance. Manxi and I have been here for a few days and they haven't said a word. Now that you, the person in charge, are here, they are running around more diligently."
Hua Manxi said: "I'm afraid they know that someone who can clean up their mess is here, so they won't be more diligent."
After a pause, he said to Pei Yi in a serious tone, "Although the grain we sent has been handed over, according to the observations of the people sent out in the past few days, there is not much rice in the porridge distributed by the city government. I suspect that they have hidden the rice."
Pei Yi casually threw the invitation to the banquet on the table.
"There are so many disaster victims in Jiangnan who are starving, and these people still have the mind to hold a banquet. Let's go and meet these evil spirits tomorrow."
