Tao Yinhe is now "grounded". It will take some effort for him to enter the city.
But this is not what Xia Zhaoyi worries about and considers. Tao Yinhe is Zhao Mao's capable lieutenant, and Xia Zhaoyi knows that he has the ability to enter and exit a city gate.
There was nothing else to talk about, so Xia Zhaoyi said goodbye to Tao Yinhe and wanted to go back as soon as possible.
Tao Yinhe was curious that she was really going to leave, and said, "You came here just to tell me about this medicine?"
"Well," Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "this matter is not a trivial matter."
Once sent out of the city, Xia Zhaoyi could almost guess the next flow of this batch of drugs.
What is the cheapest and fastest way to deal with it?
Of course it was sold to those armies.
Xia Zhaoyi couldn't say whether he liked or disliked those rebels. After all, this was Li Ju's territory.
But what if instead of selling it to the rebels, it was sent to the north?
Such a possibility is not impossible, and she doesn't want to let such a possibility happen at all.
Tao Yinhe's expression became serious, he looked at Xia Zhaoyi and said, "Well, Ah Li, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Are you really an orphan?" Tao Yinhe said, "If these words offend you... I hope you can forgive me."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "You ask this because you want to know my purpose? Or you think I can't be trusted."
Tao Yinhe hurriedly shook his head: "No, I think you are very powerful. I don't know if you are in the capital these days. If so, you should have heard something about Peifeng's Ali, right?"
"Well, I know many people are looking for me." Xia Zhaoyi nodded and said.
Tao Yinhe said seriously: "You are very powerful, Ah Li. With your courage and talent, you can definitely find a good person to back you up. If you are really an orphan and helpless, the Duke of Zheng's Mansion... do you want to come?"
"
"Is that so?" Xia Zhaoyi frowned, "So, what Zhao Tang told me about marriage just now was actually to win over me?"
"Zhao Tang?" Tao Yinhe asked, "I never mentioned his name to you, do you know him?"
Xia Zhaoyi was noncommittal and said calmly: "He probably doesn't know me."
Tao Yinhe looked at her, feeling increasingly strange in his heart.
For the little girls he met before, he would bend down and put his hands on the children's shoulders as he usually does when coaxing children, to coax them not to be sad. However, he couldn't do these actions to the girl in front of him.
The demeanor in her body made it impossible for him to treat her as a child, and the things she had done and the stories she left behind made Tao Yinhe always wonder, what kind of parents could give birth to a child with such a mental ability?
Come girl.
"I won't go back to the camp ahead," Xia Zhaoyi said at this time, "General Tao, I'll take my leave now."
"Okay," Tao Yinhe nodded, "Thank you for the medicine."
"Why are you thanking me?" Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "I didn't buy these medicines with money, it's just a generosity to others. I can't bear this word of thanks,"
As she said that, she raised her hands and clasped her fists: "Goodbye."
"Wait a minute," Tao Yinhe hurriedly followed, "there is also the matter of Dingguo Duke's Mansion, which you haven't agreed to yet, and if you are short of money, I will give you fifty taels to keep with you?"
"No," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile as he walked, "I'm not short of money. Let's not mention the matter of Duke Ding's mansion. I won't go."
"Why?"
Xia Zhaoyi shook his head with a smile and said nothing.
When Tao Yinhe saw her like this, he didn't know what to say.
Leaving the stream and crossing several grassy slopes, Xia Zhaoyi walked from the other side, not wanting to go back to the camp.
Tao Yinhe watched the little child's figure leave, feeling increasingly confused about her.
Of course, he would not blindly believe everything she said. After returning to Beijing, people from Zheng Guogong's mansion would definitely go and investigate.
But if it is true, how did this little girl know, how did she do it, and why did she give such a large gift to Zheng Guogong's mansion?
But thinking of what she did in Peifeng, Tao Yinhe was now sure that she was not a bad person.
After the child's figure completely disappeared, Tao Yinhe withdrew his gaze and turned back.
………………
The study door was gently pushed open.
Shitou came in with a letter in his hand: "Young Master."
Shen Lie was sitting by the window reading a book. He was so absorbed in reading that he didn't hear anything.
Shitou came over with the letter, his expression was not very happy, and he called again: "Young Master."
Only then did Shen Lie raise his head, look with his dark and narrow eyes, and said calmly: "What's the matter."
"Letter," Shitou handed over the letter in his hand unhappily, "It was sent by someone from Shen Shu."
Shen Lie took it and opened the envelope.
Shitou watched coldly from the side, his eyes gradually moved to Shen Lie's book, and found that the book he was focusing on was left by Miss Xia.
In the past few days, Shen Lie has been staying in the study. This is actually a good thing. Young talents who study hard are so lovable.
But in fact, Shi Shi discovered that the books he read every time were not "serious" books, but were all left by Miss Na Xia.
Although Miss Na Xia is said to be unparalleled in the world, Shitou always feels that people with such fame may not necessarily have real talents and learning, such as Qingzhou Sage or Shen Shu.
It must be because Miss Na Xia was born as a girl and the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo, and because of her great integrity and righteousness before her death, she was praised like this by the world.
As for the books she left behind, Shi Shitou had secretly read them, but he couldn't understand them at all. There were many rare words in them, and many of them were confusing. But it was these books that made Shen Lie fascinated by reading them these past few days. Can't let it go.
What his young master should read is obviously a book about managing the world and governing the country and serving as an official. Why should he read these heretical and heretical people? It's useless.
Shitou looked back at Shen Lie, who was still reading the letter.
The letter had several pages, and when he got it, he felt it was quite heavy.
Now Shen Lie was reading slowly, and his expression seemed to be getting more and more serious, which made Shitou curious about what the letter said.
After looking over one by one, Shen Lie lowered his hands and stared in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Master?" Shitou called out.
Shen Lie narrowed his eyes, looked at him, and said, "Light a fire."
"ah?"
"Where's Huo Zhezi?"
Shitou understood, went to get the candlestick, blew on the candle, and lit the candle.
Shen Lie stood up and burned the letters.
The fire started so big that the pages curled up and soon turned into a pile of withered ashes.
After the rocks were cleared away, Shen Lie sat back down again.
When I picked up the book, I couldn't calm down.
There is still the smell of burnt smoke in the air, which doesn't dissipate quickly.
He turned to look out the window, feeling suddenly confused.
