"It's another day."

Pei Jingyun paced slowly along the city wall, looking at the rising sun leaping out of the sea.The rising light first sprinkled the black sea with golden light like fish scales, and then dyed it dark blue.

On the surface of the sea, a few large ships have lowered their white sails and are slowly approaching the port.Flocks of seagulls soar under the blue sky, flying over the busy pier, flying over clumps of coconut trees, green rice fields like a checkerboard, flying over farmhouses that are smoking, and over her head, tweeting to the distance fly away.

The damp sea breeze blew her white hair behind her shoulders, dancing in the wind like thousands of silver threads.

Since Qi Mingdi Xiao Ming passed away, she no longer wore any jewelry and wore plain clothes all day long to express her condolences to her deceased husband.

At the corner of the city wall, Xu Yan held up an exquisite crossbow as usual and looked carefully at the sunlight.

He is a descendant of Master Xu who forged the Yan Que Sword. He is about fifty years old and has reached the age of knowing the destiny.But unlike ordinary old people, he still has strong and strong muscles, can swing a heavy hammer, and forge exquisite iron tools.

Seeing Pei Jingyun approaching, Xu Yan put down the crossbow in his hand, bowed respectfully and said, "Master, you came out so early."

Pei Jingyun smiled and said, "Are you still enjoying this?"

Xu Yan nodded, picked up the crossbow again and rubbed it lovingly, touched the smooth receiver with his fingers, and said: "The exquisiteness of this crossbow amazes me, I really want to see that Shen Yuexi."

He was invited to this island by a mysterious person 15 years ago.He once forged black light armor, and also made a musket fired with flint. He thinks that his forging skills are unparalleled in the world.When he saw the Liannu made by Shen Yuexi, he was still astonished, and felt that the craftsmanship of this Liannu was on par with him.

He really couldn't believe that a young woman could have such forging skills, and he even believed that Xiao Zhuo secretly entrusted a famous hidden craftsman to forge it.After all, there are heaven and man outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky. Maybe there are still skilled craftsmen somewhere in Dayan, doing the same things as him.

Pei Jingyun said: "She will come here soon, you can have a good talk then."

Xu Yan froze, raised his head and said, "Didn't the master let 'Defiant' assassinate him? Could she still survive?"

"She won't die so easily," Pei Jingyun shook her head, "Maybe there is a god protecting her, I think she will definitely come here."

Xu Yan couldn't believe it, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "Even if she can escape the assassin's attack, she won't be able to escape the interception of the gunboat at sea, and she will definitely not get here."

On the one hand, he thinks that Shen Yuexi will never survive, and on the other hand, he secretly hopes that Shen Yuexi can arrive safely, which is quite contradictory.

Seeing what was on his mind, Pei Jingyun just smiled and said noncommittally, "You are busy here, I'll go and look elsewhere."

She walked down the city wall along the stone steps and came to the inner city square.A thin gray-robed old man was teaching several young girls how to use swords to attack and kill.

He is Jiang Tongshan, the teacher of the "Guardian" assassin, and also Xiao Beiheng's teacher. Xiao Beiheng's swordsmanship and archery are all taught by him.Originally, she had always been with Pei Jingyun in Anzhou, but after Xiao Ming died, Pei Jingyun also brought him to the island.

The two chatted for a while, and a maid walked quickly with a bamboo tube the size of a whistle in her left hand, and put a pigeon on the maid's right arm.

"Master, there is news about Xun from the carrier pigeon." The maid handed the small bamboo tube to Pei Jingyun.

Pei Jingyun turned the bamboo tube upside down, poured out a scroll, and unfolded it for reading. Jiang Tongshan signaled the girls to practice by themselves, and stood beside Pei Jingyun and said, "Master, what news do you have for Xun?"

"Xun's assassination failed," Pei Jingyun handed the note into Jiang Tongshan's hand, "while crossing the city wall of Leshan, I ran into Heng'er again, and managed to escape."

Jiang Tongshan frowned slightly, glanced at the note, and said, "The young master has become our enemy, what good plan does the master have?"

Pei Jingyun didn't answer, she just closed her eyes and meditated.

Jiang Tongshan said: "If the young master insists on protecting Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi, but they don't dare to hurt the young master, it will be difficult to succeed."

"I know," Pei Jingyun said, "Let them try again, try to avoid Heng'er."

Seeing that Pei Jingyun had come to a conclusion, Jiang Tongshan said, "Master, if the young master stays with them all the time, why can't we succeed? On land, it's easy to say, if they come to us by boat, if the gunboat encounters them, they will be destroyed... "

Pei Jingyun said: "You're right, I'll send Heng'er a message right now."

A maid came over with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Pei Jingyun picked up the pen, carefully wrote a few lines of small characters on a piece of paper, and handed it to the maid, "Let the carrier pigeon pass to Yu, who will naturally know what to do."

At this time, another maid rushed over, let the maid who delivered the letter pass, and said: "Master, Mei Dai asks to see you."

"Ask her to come to the city wall." Pei Jingyun bowed slightly to Jiang Tongshan, "you can do your work here."

Pei Jingyun first went to the city wall to see the surrounding scenery, and not long after, two maids accompanied Mei Dai.

Mei Dai just got off the boat and knew that Pei Jingyun was here.Seeing that the people escorting her and Shen Lan were very polite, they immediately asked to see Pei Jingyun.

When she came to the city wall, she immediately recognized Pei Jingyun's white hair.Even though the two sides are hostile, she did not lose her manners, and said with a military salute: "Mei Dai has seen Mrs. Pei."

Pei Jingyun turned around, looked at Mei Dai with a smile, and said, "Queen Xiliang, the boat ride has been exhausting."

It was the first time the two met, but Mei Dai felt very familiar.Sure enough, Pei Jingyun looked exactly like the Wen Yi she saw in the palace. If it wasn't for the white hair reminding her, she would have thought that Wen Yi had come back from the dead.

But if you look closely, Pei Jingyun and Wen Yi still have different temperaments.Wen Yi is more gentle, Pei Jingyun is more decisive.

Mei Dai is very intelligent, knowing that Pei Jingyun hates Wen Yi, so she didn't mention Wen Yi and said, "I'm fine, but Shen Lan got seasick and vomited all the way, so she could only rest in the house. With such a majestic city, I wonder what Madam Pei's intention is for us to come here?"

"I just want to meet you." Pei Jingyun took a few steps closer, "I want to see how outstanding Mei Dai is who can become the king of Xiliang as a daughter."

Mei Dai saw that her behavior was gentle and harmless, so she stood where she was and said: "Mei Dai is just inheriting the last wish of her father and brother, Mrs. Pei has given too much credit."

Pei Jingyun smiled, looked down at the metal mask hanging on Mei Dai's waist, and said, "This is your brother Meipu's mask, right? You always carry it with you?"

Mei Dai said: "Bringing it with you is to remind yourself not to forget your goals, and not to forget what you should do."

"Well said," Pei Jingyun turned to face outside the city wall, stretched out her hand to brush her hair, "You and I are both the same people, and we have our own goals that we will never change in this world. You want to keep Xiliang The Mei family is willing to be Emperor Yongde's concubine. And I do the same thing as you, in order to be with my sweetheart, I plan everything you see."

Mei Dai heard the words and walked to the city wall, looking down at everything on the island.She has seen a lot since she was a child, but she is still very surprised when she sees the scene in front of her.

"This is a real town." She looked at the people working in the rice fields and the children running among the cottages. "Has Mrs. Pei been building here for a long time?"

Pei Jingyun said: "I started it when you were just born. After so many years of operation, it has reached the scale it is today."

Mei Dai calculated in her heart that it was the second year when Pei Jingyun married Xiao Ming, and Xiao Beiheng was also one year old.

She could vaguely guess Pei Jingyun's motives for building this island in her heart, but before she could ask, Pei Jingyun slowly said it out as if recalling the past.

"All of this is for my husband. I have successfully allowed Wen Yi to enter the palace, and my next goal is to help my husband regain the throne he should have had."

"Tiger crouching cannon, iron pagoda?"

"Of course, there is also this island," Pei Jingyun said with a sad look on her face, "I thought at the time, I would make invincible cavalry and invincible artillery to help my husband, but I didn't know these things at that time. How long will it take to make it. In case the husband fails, our family must have a shelter."

Hearing this, Mei Dai couldn't help feeling admiration for Pei Jingyun.

She has been operating such a huge plan since she was nine years old.Even though many lives were hurt, it took more than [-] years to achieve this level. Even Mei Dai, who is proud and arrogant, has to admire this kind of generosity.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes," Mei Dai touched the bricks on the city wall, "I didn't even know that there would be such a paradise in the southern waters of Dayan. It's a miracle."

"It's not a miracle." Pei Jingyun turned around with a smile, "Didn't Shen Yuexi also build Shengjing in Xiaogang Village? I didn't believe it when I saw the scale of Shengjing when I went there. "

Mei Dai's heart moved, and she asked: "Then Madam admires Shen Yuexi... too?"

She heard two key points from Pei Jingyun's tone.The first point is that Pei Jingyun seems to appreciate women who are as resolute and courageous as her.The second point is that she also seems to admire Shen Yuexi for building Shengjing City.

From this point of view, it seems that the hatred between the two parties is not unsolvable.

"Of course." Pei Jingyun admitted unabashedly, "Shen Yuexi is like you and me. I admire women who can fight against their fate the most in my life. I did it, you did it, and she did it too."

Mei Dai said: "Then Madam..."

She didn't say the following words, but Pei Jingyun seemed to guess it, and said with a smile: "You want to ask why I poisoned her? The reason is very simple, she is pregnant with the blood of that bitch, that's why I want to kill her reason."

In the first half of the sentence, Pei Jingyun's tone was still gentle and natural, but in the second half, she became fierce, even her eyes became sharp.

Although she is far-sighted, she is also a human being with emotions and desires.She couldn't tolerate the reconciliation between Xiao Ming and Xiao Zhuo's father and son, and couldn't tolerate Xiao Beiheng and Xiao Zhuo calling themselves brothers and sisters.

Seeing that Pei Jingyun's tone was not friendly, Mei Dai quickly changed her words: "Madam, how long are we going to stay here?"

"It won't be long," Pei Jingyun softened her tone, and looked towards the sea, "Shen Yuexi will come here with Xiao soon, and then everything will end."

Mei Dai also followed her gaze to look at the corner of the white sail exposed on the sea level.

Why did Pei Jingyun say that it was the moment when everything ended?She doesn't know.The only thing she knew was that Pei Jingyun seemed to be looking forward to Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi coming here.

Here, the grievances and hatred between the two sides will usher in the final outcome.
