Baitou Village? !

This is exactly the village where Ji Nianxu lived in when he was young!

He suspected that he had read it wrong, and read it word by word many times before he dared to believe his eyes. He couldn't help but be ecstatic, and there was only one thought in his mind: I must tell Daddy Pei the great news as soon as possible!

"Daddy Pei! Daddy Pei!" Ji Nianxu shouted and rushed into the imperial study.

He had never called Pei Yi like this for many years, as if without Daddy Shen, Daddy Pei also disappeared, leaving only the emperor.

He was almost about to blurt out the good news, when he saw Wei Yan suddenly, he stopped and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you now, I can't wait for a moment."

Seeing his happy face, Pei Yi had a premonition. His heart was beating like a drum, but he couldn't believe it. He forced himself to calm down and said calmly, "Wei Qing, let's stop here today, and we'll talk about the rest in another day." discuss."

"Yes, I will leave." Wei Yan bowed and backed away, turning and leaving when he reached the door.

Pei Yi looked at Ji Nianxu with serious eyes, and forced himself to be calm: "It's better to be urgent, otherwise it's up to me to punish you."

Ji Nianxu walked quickly to his side, spread the letter paper in front of him, and said happily: "Daddy Pei, Daddy Shen found it!"

Pei Yi felt as if struck by lightning, his eyes fixed on the two lines of small characters, but he couldn't understand their meaning.

After experiencing hundreds of disappointments, he has lost the courage to believe when hope knocks on the door.

"What, what's written on it? Read it to me!" Pei Yi's voice was trembling.

Ji Nian Xu sonorously read: "Report to the emperor, Shen Jiahe has been found, he is in Baitou village."

Pei Yi said tremblingly, "Read it again!"

Ji Nianxu read it more loudly.

"Baitou Village...Baitou Village..." Pei Yi repeated in a low voice.

"It's the village where I lived when I was a child!" Ji Nianxu reminded.

"He's in Baitou Village..." Pei Yi stood up abruptly, and walked out quickly. As soon as he reached the door, he stopped abruptly, stretched out his hand to hold the door frame, stood there for a long time in a daze, and suddenly called out: "Liu Geng! Liu Geng!"

Liu Geng, an old eunuch who served two generations of monarchs, walked up to him and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is right in front of you."

Pei Yi said: "Go and call Wei Yan back to me!"

Liu Geng agreed and hurried to go.

Pei Yi turned around, walked slowly back to the imperial case and sat down, with an unpredictable expression.

Ji Nianxu watched from the side, and said: "Daddy Pei, Daddy Shen found it, don't you intend to bring him back?"

"No, I can't bring him back," Pei Yi whispered, "I can't put him in a cage anymore, I want to let him live freely in this world."

Ji Nianxu's heart trembled.

He suddenly knelt down at Pei Yi's feet, put his hands on his knees, looked up at him with tears in his eyes, and said, "Daddy Pei, I don't want to live in a cage either, please let me out. Let me go find Daddy Shen, okay?"

Pei Yi shook his head slightly, and said, "No, it's not the time yet. Wait a little longer. When the time is right, I'll take you out of here and find him... But before that, I have to meet him first..."

Just as he was talking, Liu Geng came back with Wei Yan.

Pei Yi whispered to Ji Nianxu: "You go down first."

Ji Nianxu got up and walked out of the imperial study room quickly.

He was so happy, he hadn't been so happy in a long time.

He sketched Shen Jiahe's appearance in his mind, imagined the scene of reunion in the future, couldn't help laughing out loud, but also couldn't help shedding tears.

The next day, news suddenly spread in the palace that the emperor was ill and the prime minister would take over the government temporarily.

Jingwu lay on the dragon bed with a human-skin-mask-mask, pretending to be the sick emperor, receiving the diagnosis and treatment from the imperial physician, the care from the queen mother, and the greetings from the concubines, and felt that this task was getting more and more difficult.

But at this moment, the real Pei Yi was galloping on the road, full of longing and apprehension.

Baitou Village is not far from Xunyang.

Pei Yi didn't sleep a wink for two days and nights, and arrived at the destination in the early morning of the third day.

The sun in autumn is not as shrunk as in spring, nor is it as warm as in summer, the temperature and light are just right.

Pei Yi sat on the horse, bathed in the rising sun of autumn, looking at the village that hadn't woken up in the distance, but didn't dare to take a step closer.

But his heart, which has been wandering for many years, has already found its destination, and it is here, this small village with less than a hundred households. ——No, not this village, but the man who lives in this village.

Pei Yi laughed silently.

When the first wisp of cooking smoke rose from the village in the distance, Pei Yi turned his horse and left.

He went to Baitou Town, ten miles away, looking for an inn, asked for a room, and fell asleep.

This sleep will sleep until dusk and dusk.

He has not had such a sweet and peaceful sleep for many years, he just feels refreshed.

When I think that the person I have been looking for for many years is within reach ten miles away, I am full of joy.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Master," said a deep voice, "I belong to Yifeng."

Pei Yi said, "Come in."

Yifeng pushed the door open and came in, closed the door behind his back, went up to Pei Yi and knelt down, saying, "See Your Majesty."

Pei Yi said, "Get up and talk."

Yifeng thanked him and got up.

"He, how is he?"

"he's good."

"Where do you live now?"

"Back then, Ji's house was burned down to ruins. He asked someone to build a new house on the ruins, which is exactly the same as the previous Ji's house."

"How long has he lived in Baitou Village?"

"It's less than half a year since it came this spring."

"Have you found out where he was hiding before?"

"The subordinate is incompetent and has not been found yet."

Pei Yi was silent for a moment, and said: "From now on, you will stay in Baitou Village to protect him in secret, and you must not let him notice your existence."

Yifeng said in a deep voice, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Pei Yi said, "Go and get me a pipe of smoke immediately."

Yifeng took the order, and within a quarter of an hour, he handed over what Pei Yi wanted.

Pei Yi took a hot bath, washed off the dust and sweat, put on a new set of ordinary people's new clothes, and then rode away to Baitou Village, ten miles away, wearing the stars and the moon.

When he was still half a mile away from the village, he dismounted from his horse, tied the horse to a tree beside the wild road, and then used his lightness skills to sneak into the dark night like a ghost without a sound.

He saw the dim lights from a distance, and as he got closer and closer, the lights gradually brightened, and he vaguely saw figures walking back and forth in the lights, his heart immediately clenched into a ball, both happy and sad, almost shed tears.

He restrained himself, and landed on a big tree in front of the house like a bird, hiding in the lush branches and leaves, secretly watching his long-lost lover.

Because he was far away and the light was dim, Pei Yi couldn't see his face clearly, but just a vague outline made his heart surge and it was hard to restrain himself.

At this moment, those years of being tortured to death by lovesickness have value, and all the pain has been rewarded.

He watched silently, tears gradually welled up in his eyes, but there was a smile on his lips.

The light in the kitchen went out, and the light in the bedroom came on.

The window was pushed open, and he sat in front of the window, holding a book in his hand, and began to read under the lamp.

About an hour later, he was probably tired from reading, and he dozed off with his head on his hands.

How cool is the wind in autumn night, how good it is to be caught in the wind and cold.

Pei Yi wanted to put some clothes on him, but she was afraid of frightening him, so she held back with difficulty.

His head drooped lower and lower, and finally knocked on the table, waking up suddenly.

It seemed to be hurting, he stood up while rubbing his forehead, and closed the window.

Not long after, the lights went out.

Pei Yi held back for a long time before flying into the yard, and walked to the bedroom window without a sound, poked a hole in the window paper, inserted one end of the bamboo pipe, and gently tapped the other end. Blow, white smoke escapes and floats into the room.

After waiting for a while, he gently pushed open the window, jumped in, and made no sound when he landed.

He walked to the bed step by step, staring at the person lying on the bed with downcast eyes, the tears that he had endured for a long time finally couldn't bear it anymore, falling down like beads of broken threads.
