Because He Lanye and his party were added on the way, the speed of travel inevitably slowed down.

Originally, according to Nan Yuanyu and Xie Mingzhao's initial thoughts, they are now closer to Amuyin.

And further north from Amuyin is Shuangcheng. They decided to go to Amuyin first, and then turn to Shuangcheng.In this way, the time of staying on the grassland is shortened, and the occurrence of other emergencies is minimized.Besides, already here, Xie Mingzhao also just wanted to go to Shuangcheng to take a look for himself, and Xigan might be secretly connected with Xueguo, which made him worried, so he took this opportunity to take a look.

He Lanye's physical condition seemed to be very bad. He drove a carriage by himself, and the taciturn guard was in charge of driving.They also brought about twenty guards to protect their group to Amuyin.

Xie Mingzhao and Nan Yuanyu rode in a carriage, and politely declined the other party's offer to arrange a driver for them.Nan Yuanyu guessed that Xie Mingzhao might have something to say to him.Furthermore, if something unexpected happened on the way, it would be easier for the two of them to move together.

Along the way, Nan Yuanyu couldn't help asking Xie Mingzhao about the current situation in Xigan, and He Lanye was captured by the Southwest King and brought to the capital. What conditions did Nanjin propose to Xigan in exchange This son who is deeply loved by King Xigan.

"At that time, it was the condition that Chu Xiang and the Minister of the Ministry of War went to talk to the Xigan people together." Xie Mingzhao narrowed his eyes and recalled: "My grandfather was in the capital at the time, and he originally wanted him to come to talk to the Xigan people, but was rejected The Holy Majesty refused. The Holy Majesty kept him in Kyoto on the grounds that he had been fighting abroad for many years, and that his aunt and eldest cousin missed him very much."

"So the emperor sent the neutral Chu Xiang and your grandfather's former subordinate Minister of the Ministry of War to talk to the Xigan people." Nan Yuanyu propped his chin, trying to figure out what the emperor was thinking at that time. "Firstly, we won't let your grandfather fully control the negotiations, and secondly, we won't let your grandfather feel that he is under the emperor's suspicion." In fact, at that time, the emperor had already taken precautions against the Southwest King, but at that time Xigan was eyeing him. However, the southwestern important land in the Southern Jin Dynasty still depends on the Southwest King to guard it, so he can't easily touch the Southwest King.

"Then, let me ask you something, don't be angry." Nan Yuanyu inoculated the other party in advance, after all, if he was going to ask someone else next, he might be furious.

Xie Mingzhao hadn't seen him showing such a cautious look for a long time, and deliberately said with a serious expression: "You ask."

The corner of Nan Yuanyu's mouth twitched, you are already like this, do I still dare to ask?

"Ok?"

"I asked, I asked." Nan Yuanyu scratched his head, gritted his teeth and asked, "Your grandfather, well, he is the king of the Southwest. He holds 20 soldiers, and your aunt is a queen and has a son. Why doesn't he just How about threatening the Holy Majesty to make your cousin the crown prince?"

Xie Mingzhao's expression suddenly became a little weird, and the eyes that looked at Nan Yuanyu made the latter's little heart tremble.Did I just say something strange?Thinking back, it wasn't.Then why is this person's eyes so weird, as if he is facing a stranger he just met for the first time, and also seems to have a lot of doubts and puzzles.

Did I say something that was hard for him to understand?

"what happened?"

"what?"

Nan Yuanyu raised his forehead, "I'm asking you, why are you staring at me with that kind of eyes. If there's something wrong, you can just tell me." You look like this, I feel really nervous.

Xie Mingzhao coughed, and said with a complicated expression: "Ayu, have you noticed—"

"Found what?"

"When you mention the Holy One, it seems to be talking about someone else." Xie Mingzhao thought for a while, "It's probably like talking about your neighbor or someone you know but not familiar with."

Nan Yuanyu frowned, "What do you mean? I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

Xie Mingzhao sighed lightly and said, "Let me put it this way, I am also fully aware of your identity, so when you mention the Holy One again, the strangeness makes me feel a little subtle. You seem to regard yourself as a bystander, Your Majesty, the empress includes the eldest son of the emperor. When you mentioned them, your tone was the same as when you mentioned the big brother next door in the country. It was completely detached. I know you ate a lot there before. bitter."

"But it's still very strange, because they are your relatives after all, even if it's resentment, you don't have any of these emotions."

"The position you put yourself in is very clear. You are just a passerby, and you have heard a story, and the people in these stories have no influence on you."

This is the longest sentence that Nan Yuanyu and Xie Mingzhao have said since they were together.

It was also the analysis that made Nan Yuanyu the most frightened.

If it wasn't for the hesitation on Xie Mingzhao's expression, he would have thought that the other party already had a clear idea of ​​his origin.

But he had to admit that Xie Mingzhao was right.

From the time he crossed into this world, everyone who appeared around him, and everything that happened.It was all too alienating for him.He couldn't integrate himself into it at all, whether it was Nanjin or Xigan, even Xie Mingzhao who was right in front of his eyes, deep down in his heart, were actually just virtual characters, they existed in the book.He is completely isolated from himself, and his feelings are projected on Xie Mingzhao, which is just a continuation of this role that he once admired very much.

The Southern Jin Dynasty fought against Xigan, and he didn't care about the battle situation and the result.

He was worried about his own life and death, but he felt that one day, no matter how he used it, he would still leave here.

To put it simply, he didn't regard himself as a person in this world at all.

Xie Mingzhao's words woke him up.

But how to integrate into this world, for him, there is still a long time to adjust.

For the time being at least, he remains a bystander.

"Probably because I am emotionally indifferent." Now he can only find a reason to prevaricate Xie Mingzhao.

Xie Mingzhao glanced at him lightly, but did not answer.

Nan Yuanyu suddenly became depressed for a while.

He began to face up to a problem that he should have paid attention to but had been trying to ignore.

That is, whether he can return to reality.

If he puts all his emotions into this world, but one day suddenly finds that he still has to leave, what will happen to his feelings?What about those whom he has added affection to?

If he can't go back in the future, he will live here for the rest of his life.Then he has to change his previous attitude and work hard to make himself live well.

He is not greedy for power, nor does he have the brains to plan, but his current status cannot be indulged by him.

"Actually, it's good to be an ordinary person." Nan Yuanyu tugged at his hair, Nuonuo said.

"Where are the people when the mountains and rivers are broken?" Xie Mingzhao asked in a low voice, "You don't think naively that you can live without doing anything but just watching?"

"Of course not!" Nan Yuanyu said angrily, "I'm not really stupid."

"Ayu, you are the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty. Even if the Holy One has wronged you a lot in the past, the fate of the Southern Jin Dynasty and yours has long been linked. You can't be alone."

Nan Yuanyu rubbed his face and smiled. "I know."

So although he has been evading, he still remembers his identity at critical moments.

"Xie Mingzhao, we have arrived in Shuangcheng. If it is confirmed that Xueguo has formed a private alliance with Xigan, I am telling you something."

"What's the matter? And what does it have to do with Snow Country?" Xie Mingzhao pointed out the crux of the problem -- Snow Country. "Do you think Snow Country is not really allied with Xigan?"

"I'm not completely sure yet." Nan Yuanyu shook his head, "Didn't you doubt it? I found out with Brother Gaoqu before that there is a shortcut in Xueguo that can go directly to Shuangcheng, which can bypass Xuefeng. But why? Is it now that they form an alliance with the Xigan people? Why not a few years ago, when our national strength was not as strong as it is now."

Xie Mingzhao frowned slightly and remained silent.

They are all wondering why now.

There was neither civil strife nor catastrophe in the Southern Jin Dynasty.

Why did Xigan suddenly send troops, and why did Xueguo suddenly form an alliance with it.

What is the situation in Frost City now?

They have left Jinbei for so many days, how is the situation in Jinbei City?

All these questions piled up in their hearts, but they were powerless for the time being.

Everything can only be answered after arriving in Frost City.

However, it takes about three days to get to Amuyin from here.

In these three days, will something unexpected happen again?are still unknown.

During a short break in the middle, Nan Yuanyu looked at He Lanye who got out of the carriage not far away and was escorted by Mincha. Even if he was not in front of him, he could see that the young man was in a bad state.He bent over, his shoulders shaking violently.It must have been a cough again, and my whole body was shaking.

But he still only rested for less than a quarter of an hour, and then someone notified Nan Yuanyu and the two of them to set off again.

It seems that he really can't wait to reach Shuangcheng, even more anxious than Nan Yuanyu and the others.

Nan Yuanyu put his hands on the shaft of the carriage and jumped into the carriage.Xie Mingzhao was sitting outside driving the car. After thinking for a while, Nan Yuanyu opened the curtain and came out and sat beside Xie Mingzhao.

Xie Mingzhao smiled, "Why, bored alone?"

The legs hanging in mid-air swayed, and Nan Yuanyu hummed. "Xie Mingzhao, is there anyone you know at Amuyin's place?"

"Well, I met a friend there."

"When did you go there?"

Xie Mingzhao shook the whip with his hand, as if remembering something, his expression softened, and he smiled and said: "Many years ago, it happened when I was in the Southwest Army."

The author has something to say: It rained suddenly today, and I forgot to close the bedroom window. . . . . . .My heart hurts so much (>﹏<.) ~ woo woo woo...
