The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

At this moment, Pei Yan was exhausted and looked miserable.

He wore a tattered straw hat, ragged clothes, and tied a hemp rope around his waist, tightly tying himself to Xie An. He leaned on a cane and dressed himself up as an old beggar, hoping to sneak into the city.

However, as soon as he reached the city gate, he saw a soldier at the gate. He had something hidden in his sleeve and was secretly comparing the people entering the city with his sharp eyes.

Although he couldn't see who was in the portrait, Pei Yan's heart suddenly started to alarm.

"Would you like to go?"

The people in the queue behind him gave him a slap.

Xie An also blinked and looked at him.

Pei Yan pressed down his broken straw hat, bowed and left the team:

"Sorry, sorry, my child suddenly made a scene, so we can't go into the city."

Just as Xie An was about to shout, Pei Yan covered his mouth and dragged him away from the crowd.

In a ruined temple outside the city.

Pei Yan's face darkened and he started a fire.

Logically speaking, there should be many beggars and disaster victims gathered in this kind of dilapidated temple, but now the dilapidated temple is empty. There are only him and Xie An inside and outside, and there is not even a stray dog!

I just took a quick glance at the city gate, and Yizhou City didn't look like it had suffered a disaster. People were coming in and out, everything was in order, and everyone looked natural, as if they were living and working in peace and contentment.

There was no chaos at all like in the disaster area.

There is no rebel army!

At this moment, he even doubted whether his experiences in that life were all fake? Was it all just an absurd dream?

In this world, since the Su family abandoned him, everything has changed beyond recognition and become completely out of control!

It took him so long to finally realize a fact since he was reborn.

That means he may really not be able to succeed again.

It is no longer possible to realize his dream of overthrowing the Li imperial power through rebellion.

Maybe Pei Heng has already guessed his thoughts and is now quietly waiting for him to fall into his trap in Yizhou City!

After realizing this, he became extremely irritable.

He picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the fire. The fire dimmed for a moment, the flames flickered for a while, and then slowly rose again.

"Ah!"

Xie An lay in the haystack, looking at Pei Yan's face, which was darker than the night, and laughed at him mercilessly.

"Pei Yan, you won't succeed."

Pei Yan: “…”

"Pei Yan, Daqi is a prosperous country with a strong people and a stable border. The people are all living and working in peace and contentment. No one will follow you in rebellion! You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."

"Shut up!"

Pei Yan said viciously.

Xie An found a comfortable position to lie down. He was exhausted after walking all day and needed to take a rest. Pei Yan, this lunatic, who knows what kind of crazy thing he would do tomorrow.

He couldn't go to Yizhou City, and even the situation he had imagined didn't happen. Pei Yan was a little at a loss.

Now that he has no way forward and is being pursued from behind, what else can he do?

Go die?

If he died, could he return to that life and continue to be the powerful official second only to the emperor?

He looked at the dagger in his hand, pointed it at his heart, but in the end he didn't dare to stab it.

When he was first reborn, he thought that fate had given him another chance, allowing him to achieve even greater success than in his previous life.

But it turned out that he was wrong.

It seemed as if fate had played a joke on him, sending him to this life simply to suffer.

What if he died now and was reborn into another more miserable and difficult world?

what!

There shouldn’t be a more miserable and miserable world!

I don’t dare to die, but how can I live?

If he was caught by Pei Heng, he would probably be in a state worse than death. And Li Ji!

During this time, he finally figured it out.

It turns out that Li Ji is Pei Huan.

I never thought Pei Huan could return to his roots and become the King of Qin. I really didn't see that in my previous life!

"Clap!"

Suddenly, a slight sound was heard outside the dilapidated temple in the quiet night. Pei Yan was like a frightened bird. He quickly put out the fire, picked up Xie An from the ground, and hid behind the dilapidated temple.

"Meow!"

It turned out to be a black cat.

Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn't Pei Heng or Li Ji. But now, he didn't dare stay in the dilapidated temple any longer.

I have survived all this time by being vigilant at all times.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Yan took out a hemp rope to tie himself and Xie An more tightly, and walked out under the cover of night. In his haste, he didn't notice the charcoal mark where Xie An had just lain.

The next day, Pei Heng and Li Ji's men found the ruined temple at the same time.

"Duke, we found the same mark here as before. It was left by Young Master Xie."

Qin Chuan and his men searched the ruined temple but did not find anyone. They only found the mark left by Xie An.

Along the way, they followed Xie An's signs all the way to Yizhou. Pei Yan was as cunning as a fox, and several times, like this time, he slipped away right under their noses.

This time we passed each other again.

Li Ji's face turned as black as charcoal. He grabbed Governor Zhou and started cursing:

"I said we were going to act in secret, leaving the door wide open to invite you in. How did you alert him?"

Governor Zhou was so frightened that his legs went weak.

"Your Highness, you really didn't make a fuss! You were really searching quietly! I really don't understand how he could tell something was wrong."

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Governor Zhou.

Pei Yan could see the abnormality. Firstly, he was very cautious by nature. Seeing that Yizhou City was different from the chaotic scene he had imagined, he was already on guard.

In addition, he was suspicious and would hide his evil intentions in his heart. Whenever there was any sign of trouble, he would retreat into his cave like a cunning fox and never come out.

"I still underestimated him."

Li Ji punched the pillar.

"Now that we've alerted the enemy, I wonder where Pei Yan will go next. Where can we find him in this vast sea of ​​people?"

Sun Zhonghuai patted Li Ji on the back and comforted him:

"Your Highness, at least it proves that Xie An is still safe at the moment, and he can still leave a mark for us. Why not return to the capital temporarily and issue a warrant for his arrest. As long as he is still in Daqi, there is no fear of not being able to catch him!"

"In addition, I will continue to patrol the southern states one by one. I will also keep an eye on their movements. If I get any information, I will arrest them immediately."

They had already spent several months in the south to provide disaster relief and hunt down Pei Yan.

At home in Shengjing, his wife and children are waiting for him.

A summary report on disaster relief efforts is also needed.

Hearing Sun Zhonghuai's words, Pei Heng nodded. This was the only way for now.

Little did they know that when everyone set out to return to Beijing, Pei Yan also disguised himself and headed north.

He thought about it and realized that Daqi could no longer accommodate him.

Going south is Dali, and even though Dali and Daqi are on good terms, they cannot accommodate him.

The only option now is to go north to the frontier.

Beimang and Daqi have been enemies for generations. This time, Beimang suffered a lot at the hands of Daqi. Although it surrendered for a short time, it must be unwilling to accept it in its heart.

He had the formula for gunpowder and the manufacturing process for the first generation of muskets (Pei Yan learned this from Liu Xu in this life).

With these two trump cards, he will surely be able to gain a foothold in Beimang and make a comeback.
