"And Shen Lie has no financial background, no territorial soldiers, and no military advisers. No matter how powerful he is, how can he fight against thousands of troops? Either Shen Lie can really fly into the sky and disappear without a trace, or he can He was forced by those forces to take refuge in one side. In troubled times, you can't help yourself." Zhao Ning continued.
The rain was pouring outside the window, and the incense burner inside was burning clear smoke. Zhao Ning's voice was soft and gentle, making the room even quieter.
Xia Zhaoyi listened quietly without making a sound.
Xia Zhaoyi understood what Zhao Ning said, but for some reason, she always felt that Shen Lie would not put her in such a situation.
Shen Lie may not have ambition, but he is not stupid.
At that time, she found out that someone was trying to deal with Shen Lie in Youzizhuang, so she ran thousands of miles back, but when she met him again in Songzhou, Xia Zhaoyi could clearly see that Shen Lie had changed.
He was still sincere to her, she could feel this, but the young man who was aloof and unruly at the time has become much more restrained and calm, and he has become more unpredictable.
Xia Zhaoyi was sure that even if she didn't come back, Shen Lie could handle all the troubles he encountered.
"Ah Li," Zhao Ning said in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about Mr. Shen," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "I find that Mr. Shen always makes me feel at ease, no matter before or now."
"Peace of mind?"
Xia Zhaoyi nodded.
This feeling was a bit subtle, and she seemed to have never felt it in anyone else.
Whether it’s the father, the eldest brother, the second brother, including the master.
The master is indeed reassuring. In Xia Zhaoyi's opinion, there is nothing in the world that the master cannot accomplish. But with the master, you don't know whether he will take action.
For example, there is a very hidden puddle in front of you. You will step into this puddle without knowing it. Master sees it, but no one is sure whether he will remind you aloud. It all depends on his good mood. bad.
Therefore, Xia Zhaoyi almost never got the kind of peace of mind that Shen Lie gave her from her master.
Or in other words, she had never experienced any sense of peace of mind before. She had never needed it. It was Shen Lie who gave her such a feeling.
Whether she needed it or not, he always appeared by her side at the right time, giving her great strength.
Now, Zhao Ning says that Shen Lie will not get what he wants.
But Xia Zhaoyi felt that he would. If he really wanted to escape from the world, he would arrange everything for himself.
This arrangement may even include cutting off all contact with them.
The heavy rain continued, so Xia Zhaoyi didn't stay with Zhao Ning for long. After drying her hair and clothes, she went to see Wang Fengnian and Old Man Qi.
The two had a good chat. Old Qi was knowledgeable and good at talking, and Wang Fengnian seemed to get along well with him.
Xia Zhaoyi gave some simple instructions and left.
Zhao Ning had asked Manager Chu to prepare the carriage and left from Ning'an Building. After passing the Guiyuan Inn, Xia Zhaoyi raised the curtain and looked. The door of the Guiyuan Inn was wide open and the people inside were cleaning up the mess.
Xia Zhaoyi lowered the car curtain and looked forward.
The door curtain in front was open, and although there was a headwind, a lot of rainwater still filtered in.
She originally wanted to lead the Tianrong Guards to deal with Nie Huimo, but Zhao Ning said that she had already contacted the Hengxiang Guards, so she could avoid causing more trouble.
But the relationship between Nie Huimo and Nie Huimo will definitely affect the future.
To put it bluntly, it is really a "chaos".
She had a blood feud with Li Ju, she didn't deal with Song Zhiyi, and now there was a feud with Hotan Dayao.
Yun Bozhong's Yan Nan Army and Heng Ping Army were close friends with the Men Zhi'an family, but she and the Men Zhi'an family were also at odds with each other.
Ying Jinliang had no courage or strategy, he was nepotistic, and he was eager to achieve great results.
Jiao Jinhu is fierce and timid, reckless and impulsive, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.
Lin Yao was even more cruel. He massacred half of the people in Peifeng. He was really a dog.
Among all the competitors in the world, there is no one she can like.
Xia Zhaoyi couldn't help but look northwest.
That, in fact, should be her real destination.
The entire land of the Central Plains has become a prey for hunting dogs, but the soldiers of the former dynasty on the frontier are still struggling to hold on.
They have no backup power or even any hope. What they rely on is their sincere love for the nation and the land.
There are wolves in front of them and tigers in the back, but they know better than anyone else that once they return to the Central Plains and give up the border between the United States and the United States, and the barbarians rush down along the Zhitu and Pingyang roads, the entire Central Plains will suffer.
Those soldiers guarding the border are the real warriors.
Back at Qimotang, Lao Tong and Zhi Changle had almost packed their things.
They didn't have many things, so without Old Man Qi when they left, they were even lighter.
In addition to organizing things, Lao Tong also boiled a large pot of hot water in the kitchen and waited for Xia Zhaoyi to come back so that she could take a hot bath.
It rained so heavily that even if you wore a hat or a raincoat and held an umbrella, you would get soaked.
But one pot was not enough, so Lao Tong asked her to wait. After pouring hot water into the bucket, he quickly added firewood and boiled another big pot.
Xia Zhaoyi went to wait in front of the store, opened the store door, and looked at the rain on the front street.
Zhi Changle smiled and said: "Ah Li, look at our store. We don't open our store when the rain is light. But when it rains so hard, others close their doors and leave, but we open our store."
Xia Zhaoyi also laughed and looked next door: "The teahouse is still telling stories."
"It's not a story, it's what's happening right now. It's said that someone reported to the police last night and caught a group of men in black. They were originally going to assassinate Captain Qiu of the capital guard in the south of the city, but they were blocked halfway. After
I checked today and guess what, they were the same group of people who assassinated Governor Huang behind the government office!"
"It's actually them." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Yes, but they were stubborn and couldn't find out more. But the assassin has been found. The people of Hengxiang can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "Yeah."
After a pause, he added, "I stopped him."
Zhi Changle had been with her for a long time and was not surprised at all. He said, "Then, how are their skills?"
"not bad."
Zhi Changle nodded: "It's a pity that I don't know who he belongs to."
"Tian Dayao can be ruled out," Xia Zhaoyi said.
When I bumped into Nie Huimo last night, I looked at Nie Huimo's expression and didn't recognize them.
Tianrong Guard can also be eliminated, there is no need for them to make unnecessary efforts.
As for the others, Xia Zhaoyi frowned, and Song Zhiyi was unlikely. He had no need to mess up Hengxiang. He should prefer that Hengxiang maintain the previous stable situation.
In the same way, Yun Bozhong can also be excluded.
As for the remaining forces, Xia Zhaoyi thinks that anyone can do it.
