Take care...

When I finished saying this, I looked at him and suddenly felt an empty feeling, as if the waves of thousands of miles had turned into an invisible sense of confusion at this moment.

In fact, at this moment, nothing is redundant.

No, I can say anything more.

A look of indescribable sadness or joy flashed in his eyes. When he looked at me, it seemed as if this deep and boundless sea had too many sorrows of ever-changing changes, and it seemed that it could tolerate all sorrows.

I smiled faintly.

He also smiled.

Then, I put down my hand, turned to look at the boatman who was already a little unrestrained, stared at my boatman with wide eyes, and said calmly: "Go back to the young master's boat."

“…”

The man was completely stunned and looked at me stupidly.

"Back to the young master's ship."

I repeated another calmly.

The man then seemed to wake up from a dream, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, madam!"

At this time, the sea breeze blew through the two ships, raising waves. I had heard the deafening sound of Tianquan Island in the distance, like a loud roar of beasts, resounding across the sky. But at this time, I had no strength to look up and see what the mountain had become. The power of nature was unimaginable and unattainable for everyone here. The waves gradually surged, and I felt that the narrow boat under my feet was constantly rising and falling with the waves, as if it would be overturned at any time and swallowed up.

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

And at this moment, a cold, but indescribable voice came from above the head—

"Don't you want to see me?"

The sound was not very loud. Perhaps it was because he was standing on the boat and we were at the bottom of the boat. When the sound was heard, it had already drifted, but it still seemed full of energy. Even if the mountains in the distance were cracking and even the waves were surging, it could not cover up the sound and pierced into the hearts of some people.

My heart suddenly jumped.

But immediately, he frowned slightly again.

He is talking to me?

But--

I hesitated for a moment, slowly turned around, but did not look up to see him on the boat, but looked back at the small boat not far from me. Pei Yuanfeng walked around with one hand and hugged Xue Muhua's thin body, and the other hand held her slender and pale hand tightly in front of her. Both of them had blood on their faces and their hair was disorganized, which seemed a little embarrassed.

Hearing that sentence, Xue Muhua immediately looked at him nervously.

Pei Yuanfeng kept lowering his head, and his dark eyes were fixedly looking at the undulating sea water, but there was no slight turbulence.

I raised my head again and saw Pei Yuanhao holding the fence with both hands, looking down at the bottom of the sea. The turmoil of the sea was also reflected in his eyes, and it could not cause any turbulence. There was only a solid darkness, looking at Pei Yuanfeng steadily.

That sentence was said to him!

My heartbeat suddenly became rapid.

I clearly remember how Pei Yuanfeng competed with Pei Yuanhao in the cold palace for me, and later in Yangzhou for me, which made me heartbroken. I even clearly remember that Pei Yuanhao said that after he knew that I was forced to jump ship and commit suicide by jumping into the ship, he sent him a broken arrow, and then hid in Xichuan and did not return to the side of the "third brother".

They originally had a common ideal. Even though so many changes occurred at the beginning, both of them faced each other together, but now... everything has changed.

But Pei Yuanhao's words-

I also looked at Pei Yuanfeng nervously, but without waiting for him to respond, the arrogant emperor spoke again.

"You have nothing to say, do you want to tell me?"

“…”

Pei Yuanfeng's palm was slightly pressed, and I almost saw Xue Muhua's hand sinking into his palm, almost turning white by him, and maybe it hurts, but Xue Muhua always gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. Instead, he slowly stretched out his other hand and gently covered the back of his hand.

The atmosphere was so tense that it seemed like the mountain on Tianquan Island last night, and maybe it would explode in the next moment.

However, Pei Yuanfeng was silent and did not speak.

Pei Yuanhao looked at him quietly, then looked at Xue Muhua who was with him, and said, "I know, you are about to get married."

“…”

"I'm very happy to see you being able to let go of the past."

“…”

"A man should start a business after he gets married."

“…”

"Yuanfeng, do you still remember what you thought about with me and we wanted to achieve great things?"

“…”

"Do you still remember your original intention?"

“…”

Speaking of which, I have known their brothers for so many years and have not been around Pei Yuanhao for much time. It seems that I rarely see him say so much in one breath. And under such circumstances, the wind and waves are surging and the wildfires are everywhere. He and Pei Yuanfeng are on such a high boat and on a small boat that is constantly wandering around. The Zhoushan Navy and Pei Yuanxiu are completely in a confrontation. He is not too slow and unhappy, and ask about Pei Yuanfeng's original intention.

Original intention...

I recalled in a daze that year, on the boat heading south, when I asked him why Empress Yin and Pei Yuanxiu had both been defeated and fled from the capital, but he did not leave with his mother and brother, but stayed with Pei Yuanhao. How did he answer me at that time?

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 the untouchables in the south can be deposed, the Han people can be integrated with the people outside our pass, and the heaven and the north and south can be integrated. Only in this way can the Central Plains usher in a real prosperous era. I rode horses and fought in battles and took blood on the battlefield, not because I was wary, but because I had my own ambitions and ideals...

He said: Although I am closer to my mother, the ambitions of the emperor are the same...

That is his original intention!

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

It is not now, the picture of jade and silk that Wu Yanqiu sent to him in his wedding hall was also telling him that no matter what happened or how many things happened, he had never given up on this brother.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel nervous. I held the boat side and turned my head to look at him, watching him sitting quietly on the boat, without saying a word, and without saying a word.

What will he respond?

Not only did I have such concerns, but there seemed to be people around me. Even the Xiao Yusheng brothers who had been traveling toward the other side of the ship stopped, allowing the wind and waves to stir up the boat and undulate them. They all turned around and looked at Pei Yuanfeng steadily.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe it was just a breath, or it might have been a long time. But at this time I thought too much and recalled too much of the past, and the passage of time was not so obvious. I saw Pei Yuanfeng’s pale face slowly lifting up. The pair of red tiger eyes were flashing with light, and he looked at the figure on the boat.

The moment he saw that figure, he calmed down.

Even the hand that held Xue Muhua's hand tightly slowly relaxed, as if he had put down a burden that had been weighing on his heart for a long time.

He said, "My original intention has not changed."

“…”

“Never changed—”

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

Xiao Yusheng's hand, which was stolen on his back, had already been put down and hung on both sides of his body.

Pei Yuanhao was the calmest of these people. He held the fence with both hands and looked down at his fifth brother, but I don’t know if it was my illusion. Maybe it was because the distance was too far, so I was confused. His hand holding the fence tightened slightly.

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

...

All the wind and waves seemed to be quiet at this moment.

Everyone was also determined at this moment.

It was obvious that the rumbling sounds had already stopped on the west bank, but for some reason, I seemed to feel a thunder coming from the thick clouds and rolling black smoke above my head, which made me feel a little confused.

He said-he has changed!?

He has changed!

Yes, for so many years, he has gone from the young and energetic fifth prince who would have fought against the supreme emperor of the dynasty at all costs to the owl general who is now calling for the wind and rain in Xichuan, and even manipulating a group of troops to fight to the death with the 200,000 troops of the Eastern Chaga tribe!

After so much experience, how can people remain unchanged?

For some reason, when I heard this from him, I was not sad for some irreversible past, nor for the changes in the world, but I was just sad for him at this moment.

Pei Yuanhao, who was standing on the boat, was still calm. Although his clothes were blown away by the wind, he stood on the bow of the boat like an ice sculpture, emitting coldness. After hearing Pei Yuanfeng's words, he did not react. He was silent for a long time before he felt as if he sighed in a low voice.

Then he said, "Since that's the case, then you go."

After saying that, the hand holding the fence raised up and waved it gently. The boatman holding the oars at the stern of Pei Yuanfeng and his boat immediately nodded respectfully, turned the bow of the boat, and sailed towards the other side of Pei Yuanfeng and his boats.

And immediately, I passed by my side.

I saw that his face was particularly pale, and even gave people the illusion that a layer of frost was condensed. Xue Muhua, who had been sitting beside him, was panicked and could only calm down by leaning against him, held his hand, hugged him, and gently stroked his arm.

In this way, there was a hint 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 Pei Yuanxiu's huge sea ship behind me.

Compared to Pei Yuanhao, who has been living in the deep palace of the imperial city for a long time, the brothers are not so apart. They just nodded and signaled each other. However, after nodding, he seemed to be a little hesitant and looked back at me again.

As soon as he looked at him, he said, "You want to go back to your second brother?"
