Chapter 1305 Hejing Foreign Race
Over the years, due to various factors, Mu Tingyu lost most of his family wealth.
However, as a long-established noble family, the Duke of Rongguo still had a strong foundation. Mu Tingyu had already ordered the best things in the house to treat this girl, even the basin that contained warm water was made of golden nanmu.
He hurried to Yinshuixiangyuan and was told by the maid that Xia Zhaoyi had just gone to the bathroom.
Mu Tingyu waited outside. When Xia Zhaoyi came out with half-wet hair, he quickly sent someone to prepare smokeless silver charcoal.
Xia Zhaoyi said: "It works quickly in summer, so there is no need to burn charcoal."
Mu Tingyu said: "Yes, yes, there is no need to burn charcoal."
Seeing Mu Tingyu follow this mysterious girl into the house, the maids and servants in the mansion quietly exchanged glances, and they were all shocked.
Even if Lu Mingfeng came to visit him in person, he would never see their prince like this.
After entering the room, Mu Tingyu said: "The group of people who followed the girl today have probably figured out that they are Wei Yaojun, the minister of Zhongshu."
Xia Zhaoyi said: "Wei Yaojun doesn't like Zhuge Mountain?"
Seeing Xia Zhaoyi carrying a pot to pour water, Mu Tingyu hurried forward and held the teacup in both hands to receive the water.
Mu Tingyu said: "Not only Wei Yaojun and Yu Shiling's faction, but also the Yong'an officials who came with them have always been displeased with Zhuge Mountain over the years. Behind Zhuge Mountain is the entire Yi'an, and such a big family makes it difficult for him to become an official.
The next year, Master Fan was so homesick that he fell ill and reported his old age, so Zhugeshan was directly promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. How many years did Yu Shiling and the others endure and how many old men died to reach their current status? As soon as Zhugeshan came, he
Who can bear to be on equal footing with them?"
The teacup in his hand was full, and he handed it to the girl respectfully, but he saw that the girl had already picked up another teacup and poured water slowly.
Xia Zhaoyi seemed to have something in his peripheral vision, and looked sideways, blinking: "Give it to me?"
Mu Tingyu was embarrassed and had to raise his hand to drink it himself.
Xia Zhaoyi took a sip of tea and said: "Song Zhiyi and Tian Dayao are thinking about whether to fight this or that every day. Ying Jinliang is thinking about who to form an alliance with and how to form an alliance every day. Why doesn't this person form an alliance with me? I want to
Don't continue to form alliances. Yun Bozhong is thinking about how to stabilize his territory and increase his strength. Zhuang Mengyao is racking his brains to try to balance the forces of all parties and maintain the status quo. It's Hejing, hehe."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled.
Mu Tingyu smiled and said, "When did Miss Ah Li arrive in Hejing?"
"Yesterday," Xia Zhaoyi put down the tea cup and looked at Mu Tingyu and said, "Thank you for the hospitality. I have to go. Because of your hospitality, I..."
Mu Tingyu said hurriedly: "Miss Ali, you are so polite. You and I will have to entertain you or not. We will be our own people from now on!"
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him with a pair of bright eyes: "I think it's better for you to listen to what I have to say."
"...Girl, please tell me."
Xia Zhaoyi said: "In response to your hospitality, I have to tell you that there will be heavy rains this summer, and within three days, there will be another severe thunderstorm."
Mu Tingyu thought it would be something and said, "Okay, thank you girl for reminding me."
"You live peacefully in the palace, singing and dancing, without realizing it, but there are already people complaining outside. Wind and rain are not just one thing, just one. The disasters caused by wind and rain are like snowballs.
When it comes to round time, it can crush even Li Shi."
Mu Tingyu grinned: "But Miss Ali, what can I do?"
Xia Zhaoyi also smiled: "Don't you want the people's support?"
Mu Tingyu spread his hands: "Everyone in the court is speaking for the Ministry of Works, but the emperor just hates the Ministry of Works and refuses to delegate power. What can we do?"
"If you do what you do, what does it have to do with the Ministry of Industry or the court? Mu Tingyu, the building is about to collapse. This is the time when you can win the hearts and minds of the people. I can tell you, it is you, not Li It's not government affairs."
Mu Tingyu laughed and said: "Miss Ah Li feels sorry for the people outside, but there are people giving porridge and charity everywhere. If I follow my example, how many percent of the people's hearts will be left for me?"
"You are very smart. You can figure out how to make ten sounds when a copper plate is thrown into the water."
Mu Tingyu was slightly startled.
Xia Zhaoyi continued: "It's better than what Lu Mingfeng did, asking you to feed the money to Li Xiao and then disappear into the sea without any reply."
Mu Tingyu thought for a while and said, "So it will really rain heavily in three days?"
"It's big."
"Okay," Mu Tingyu said, "I believe you."
In order to prevent Xia Zhaoyi from being followed, Mu Tingyu arranged for several carriages to leave the house at the same time.
The plain cloth carriage that Xia Zhaoyi came in yesterday had been replaced by another person, and he was in the third one. Xia Zhaoyi and Zhan Ning were sitting in a colorful gauze carriage. The carriage was filled with rouge powder that was so strong that it was almost pungent. taste.
The carriage ran across the long street and headed to the place she designated. It passed by Yugui Street and passed by the door of Naijun Restaurant.
Wu Shaoning happened to come out of Naijun Restaurant. The smell of rouge emanating from the carriage made him raise his hand and wave.
"It's so strong." Wu Shaoning frowned and said.
He looked at the leaving carriage, withdrew his gaze, and walked towards the teahouse in front of the lamp not far away.
In the private room of the teahouse, men who had been traveling for days lay down on the floor and slept soundly.
Shen Lie was sitting by the window, reading a letter.
Wu Shaoning quickly walked in and closed the door.
"Master, you were right," Wu Shaoning said with a frown, "Naijun Restaurant has really changed owners."
Shen Lie raised his head: "You should rest first."
"Is it possible that we have to send a letter to Xizhou and then ask the people in Xizhou to contact Hejing?"
"Xizhou is only half a day's journey from Hejing, so it's not troublesome." Shen Lie said.
Wu Shaoning nodded: "That's true."
Shen Lie folded the letter in his hand, put it back in, and picked up another letter.
When Wu Shaoning saw this, he stopped disturbing him.
This letter was sent by Ji Xia and Zi Shoushi.
It was originally going to be sent to Hengxiang, but when it was transferred to Huazhou, it was sent directly to Hejing.
Ji Xiahe was found by Bao Chengle, the Minister of Etiquette in Hejing, and he was followed by tricks, quarrels, and pursuits. Ji Xiahe was full of enthusiasm in the letter.
However, he was tired of staying in Shoushi and wanted to go north to Tangzhou and then to Zhuzhou for a walk.
The word Zhuzhou reminded Shen Lie of the "Feng Wensheng" mentioned by Zhili.
After Zhili told him about this incident, he also sent people to investigate.
That Feng Wensheng ran away.
Except for Feng Wensheng, the people who caused the uproar at the Sihai Teahouse in Xucheng have not appeared again in the past few months.
At this time, the sound of a house collapsing was heard outside, and the crowd screamed loudly.
Shen Lie pushed open a crack in the window, which was a private house. However, there was no danger. Only one person was pressed underneath and suffered some minor injuries.
Shen Lie's eyes fell on a man in luxurious clothes on the side of the road, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
The man was very alert and looked back.
Shen Lie immediately took a step back.
At this time, a man dressed as a servant ran over quickly and whispered in the man's ear.
The two people left quickly.
If you just talk about the man's behavior, it may not mean anything. But with this subordinate, from their micro-expressions and small movements when talking, Shen Lie can conclude that they are definitely a foreign race outside the Great Wall.
After all, he had killed dozens of times with this group of aliens just a few months ago in the winter.
