Chapter 262 Mountain Rain

Chapter 262

mountain rain

"After Marshal Li Tianrun comes back, I'm afraid there will be a small commotion here in Hangzhou."

Taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Lou Shuwan smiled gracefully. When she put the tea cup down, the silver bracelet on her wrist lightly touched the porcelain cup, making a crisp "ding" sound.

"Li Heng teaches in the academy and may be a bit indifferent, but I have also heard that the reason why Wenlie Academy can maintain its existence is because there are people supporting it. But this time it may have a wider impact. I heard... Li Heng

Heng had said something about Mr. Qian before in the academy. Now that the current situation is sensitive, old things may have to be brought up again. Li Heng should be more careful... but it doesn't matter. The Lou family can now say something in Hangzhou.

That’s it, although... Li Heng may be a little disdainful for various reasons, but if something happens, Li Heng might be able to tell you a few words, and my little sister might be able to help. I hope Li Heng doesn’t have any grudges..."

Since the reunion at the official banquet, this is the fifth time Lou Shuwan has come to visit. Although the reputation outside the country was not good before, if she really wants to make people feel good, women like Lou Shuwan are not.

What kind of person can be directly disgusted by someone? He behaves generously and appropriately, and his dealings are quite measured. The first time he came to visit, he left after a mere cup of tea. The second time he came, he also seemed to be in a hurry.

According to her, the Lou family has quite a bit of property here, and she used to come over to look after them. After the war, she actually lost many people she knew in Hangzhou. Now that she has met them again, she feels free to move around more in the future.

In this way, it seemed much more natural to come to the house for the third time. Lou Shuwan was not pretentious and directly sent some daily necessities that everyone needed as well as some ancient books or scrolls with ancient books. These things were used in the past.

Most of them in Hangzhou are precious collections.

"Nowadays, they are not very valuable. During the one or two months of the war, they were burned and smashed, and those who knew the goods were killed. No matter how expensive these things are, they are not worth a meal. The Lou family took the opportunity to search for a lot of these things.

, To be honest, I originally wanted to give it as a gift..." Lou Shuwan laughed as she said this, feeling a little lonely, "However, even if there are a few scholars in the rebel army, they won't like this very much.

If you give him ten boxes of this, it would be more economical to give him one box of gold and silver. They also know it is valuable, but... they can't think of it."

When she said this, she laughed again: "A month ago, General Pan Wende Pan from Xiying robbed a big house and renovated it. He said that there was nothing in the house and asked him to give some paintings, calligraphy and antiques for display.

. We quickly found a box of the most valuable items and sent them to us. General Pan was very unhappy later and said why the Lou family only sent such a small amount of items. The walls of one room were not full and they were all old. We asked again

I hurriedly sent two boxes of gold and silver to calm him down. A few days later, a general also asked for calligraphy, painting and antiques. We directly collected ten boxes. The general said that the painting of dragons and phoenixes is more beautiful than the one from General Pan...

...In fact, ten boxes are not worth a few taels of silver..."

"Then I thought about it, since people don't like them anyway, there is no need to put your hot face on others' cold butts. I won't give this as a gift in the future. But our family keeps these things, which are like shining pearls in the dark. Li Heng is a person who knows the goods, so he

Let’s play with it. In this current situation, it’s all trivial. Li Heng should not shirk away from his little sister..."

It is difficult to guess how Lou Shuwan interacted with those scholars and talented people in the past, but in this post-war siege where everyone was in danger, the Lou family was prosperous and rose to the top. This young lady of the Lou family had more status than before.

But he showed the kind of attitude of a true gentleman in dealing with people. If Ning Yi was really that kind of talented person who had no way out, he might have been impressed by the other person's style and mind, and even if he had a clear mind,

In this situation where an extra help is a help, Ning Yi will naturally not completely reject other people's kindness.

Everything became more natural the next two times. After knowing from somewhere that Ning Yi told Qian Xiwen in the academy, Lou Shuwan laughed at herself several times that her family's power was nothing. In fact, this was

It’s not considered hypocritical. Even though she is not a talented woman, Lou Shuwan is quite yearning for things like literati and integrity. If not for this, she would not have always been in the circle of literati in the past. And she has achieved this.

This time, they brought the news that Li Tianrun was coming back. She was impressed by Ning Yi, but the investigation was not in-depth. If she could know the real reason why Ning Yi was captured or the dispute between Li Tianyou and Ning Yi, this would be

Those were probably not the words he said at that time.

"Well, how did you know?" When she said those words, Ning Yi was in the room and filed away two pieces of news sent by a guard from the Batao Camp. He also knew the news that Li Tianrun was coming back.

There were also speculations about what would happen, but these speculations came out of Lou Shuwan's mouth, which really surprised him.

"I heard that in the past, there were those who recruited peace among the rebels..." Lou Shuwan lowered her voice, "It's just Fang La... the rebels are getting stronger and stronger, especially after they captured Hangzhou and proclaimed themselves emperor, it was naturally impossible to recruit anyone.

Some of these people have changed their minds and are willing to go down, while others will not reveal their thoughts anymore. But the superiors have always been very wary of these people. It’s just that the country has just been established, and its foundation is not good.

Steady, it is impossible to clean up everything from now on, but for more than a month, the rumors of these things have been very tight, large and small incidents, because many people were killed in such things. My brother said,

Marshal Li Tianrun may be planning to do something big when he comes back this time, so I'm a little worried that you, Li Heng, will be affected..."

"Brother...your second brother?"

"It's the eldest brother, his name is Shuwang... Oh, Li Heng, you have met him once."

"……oh."

When it was getting dusk, Lou Shuwan walked out of the small courtyard where Ning Yi was on Xiliu Street and got on the carriage. People were coming and going on the road. The carriage passed towards the adjacent streets and alleys in the sunset, and then disappeared in the street.

In the field of vision, in the courtyard, Xiao Chan put away the tea sets and talked to Ning Yi under the corridor. Ning Yi also smiled and replied a few words, occasionally waving his hands and drawing a few circles in the air, which made Xiao Chan laugh.

After a while, Ning Yi picked up some paperwork, passed the hospital through the side door of the courtyard, and headed towards the main hospital of Badao camp.

The classes at Wenlie Academy had already dispersed at noon, and there were no more chirping children. In the magnificent dusk light, everything seemed quiet and leisurely. The road to the main courtyard from here passed through courtyards, and people who had already lived in

It was full of people, but most of the people here at this time were women and children. Some members of the Ba Dao camp had come back from work. Some knew Ning Yi and waved hello to him. There were also children who saw him and came over.

Salute and chatter.

The children knew he was sir, but most of them still liked him. The main reason was that after Ning Yi came here, they had many more stories to listen to. Some of them were told by Ning Yi himself when he had nothing to do, and some were told by Ning Yi when he had nothing to do.

He taught it in class and spread it by word of mouth. In short, everyone knew that he was a person with a lot of interesting stories.

In the past, he ran many things. He was not a frivolous and lively person. Of course he had a sense of humor, but the direction of his humor was mostly a bit deep. I never expected that he would become a character loved by many children today.

He considers himself not a good teacher, but he is quite interested in the strange changes that occur to others after being influenced by him. According to some novels he has read in the past, many people who are big devils will behave like this.

of bad taste.

Sometimes I think about it, my current situation is quite bad, I shouldn’t have this kind of misunderstanding that is inconsistent with my identity...

Going to the main house of Ba Dao Camp every day is already a breeze. When I come back from dealing with things, it is already dark. The lights in the courtyards are on, and the aroma of cooking comes from every house, reflecting the hanging hanging in each courtyard.

The clothes and children running around give it the atmosphere of an ancient farmhouse. Many families set up tables in the yard to greet one or two friends, chat, eat and drink. Ning Yi often receives invitations, mostly from Liu Tiannan and others. After all, he

He is the chief steward of Ba Dao Camp, and he has close communication with Ning Yi. If some of the people around Liu Dabiao are familiar with Ning Yi, they will also know that it is easy to get along with him.

"Shuai Li is coming back. The city of Hangzhou may not be peaceful recently. Li Heng, you know, try to go out as little as possible. If something happens, you might as well inform Yi Yi Xiao Sha or Ah Chang and arrange for more people to follow. Safety first."

He asked his daughter to inform Xiaochan that Ning Yi would not go home for dinner. When Liu Tiannan asked Ning Yi to sit down, there were already five other people in the yard, including Liu Dabiao's "killer for life" Du Sha, Ah Chang, and

Chen Fan had met An Xifu once or twice, and the other person was a deputy under Liu Tiannan named Liu Shuangmu. Ning Yi knew him, but was not familiar with him.

After nodding and greeting a few people, Ning Yi sat down with a smile and took the wine glass handed over by Liu Tiannan: "I heard that Li Shuai always holds Chen Zhong, so he won't do anything extraordinary for a little guy like me."

Liu Tiannan shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. What I'm afraid of is that he will come with a big trend."

"If we come with the general trend, we won't do anything privately. Everyone will know in advance."

After the two said these words, Liu Shuangmu on the side frowned: "What is the general trend?"

"There's a big purge that's going to happen recently."

"Mr. Ning...hasn't he never dealt with foreign affairs..." Liu Shuangmu asked doubtfully, "How do you know?"

Liu Shuangmu obviously also understood the series of things that might be caused by Li Tianrun's return to the city. What he was wondering about was obviously not what happened specifically, but why Ning Yi knew about it. Liu Tiannan patted him on the shoulder, and Ning Yi also looked at it.

He glanced at: "Recently, several businesses and relationships in the village have changed. Xiao Jinjian, Guo Yan and others used to be recruiting troops, and the news of Li Shuai's return was not strictly sealed. In line with the war situation in the north, things

It’s not hard to imagine... After all, numbers can’t be faked.”

Chen Fan drank a glass of wine and shrugged: "Don't think too much. Since this guy is involved, the matter cannot be hidden from him. Either you are mentally prepared for this, or Shuangmu, how about you kill him?"

Ning Yi laughed: "Why haven't the higher authorities issued a decree to hang all the homeless people?" Since he lost his identity as the urban management boss, Chen Fan has basically become the same as a homeless person.

An Xifu listened there for a while and asked: "Mr. Ning, what do you think of the war in the north?"

The two of them didn't interact much, but they had basically played against each other once in Huzhou. Ning Yi glanced at him: "I can't guess much. Speaking of which, Jiaxing must be unbeatable, right?"

This was said in an understatement, but Liu Tiannan had no grudge and nodded: "Yes, Tong Guan has led the troops, and the siege of the city has been lifted."

"I'm afraid Fang Qifu doesn't want to come back. There is a good harvest of grain in July and August. The area from Hangzhou to Jiaxing has always been a land of plenty. As the saying goes, the three armies go first before the grain and grass are used. What we can harvest will be harvested, and what we can't harvest will naturally be burned. Tong Guan

There are many troops, and the logistics requirements for the military line are also strong. This side... is probably planning to occupy the city and fight. Is that what it is?"

No one answered this time, Ning Yi smiled: "We have just harvested the grain, and Hangzhou can last for a long time if it is not destroyed. Revolt, proclaim emperor, and have a name, there will always be people looking for help, even if

The siege of Hangzhou cannot be solved. As long as this side holds on, the pressure on the imperial court from outside will increase. In addition, the Jin and Liao countries in the north are already at war. The Wu Dynasty will also send troops to the Northern Expedition, dragging an army of 150,000 to the south of the Yangtze River.

, under the situation of one ebb and flow, it may... bring down the imperial court. That's all I can guess."

Ning Yi thought for a while: "When the Yongle Dynasty was first established, it was impossible to kill a group of people's heads immediately, which made people panic. But since we have to strengthen the walls and clear the country to defend the city, whether the city can be twisted into a rope has become the most important thing.

I heard that Commander Li is very stable. If he leads his troops back and cleans up a group of people, he can better stabilize the situation in Hangzhou. The political struggle is probably like this."

What Ning Yi is currently dealing with in Ba Dao Camp is all about internal matters, some core secrets, or things related to the war in Northland, which have basically been filtered out. This is why Liu Shuangmu expressed surprise at him

The reason. After he finished saying this, everyone fell silent. Chen Fan was probably the person who knew Fang Qifu's thoughts best. He frowned and asked: "Is it possible?" Naturally, he meant bringing down the imperial court.

Purpose.

Ning Yi laughed: "Everyone talks on paper and talks about speculation. I am very good at it. If you want to take this matter seriously... then I don't know. There is no law in the world. There is a saying called Gao Zhu.

Wall, accumulate food, and slowly become king, but here, you are eager to become emperor, of course you also have your own ideas, whether it can be achieved or not will always be a matter of success after specific operations..."

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. Not long after, Liu Tiannan said: "Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly. This sentence makes sense. I don't know who said it..."

Ning Yi said: "Han Xin told Liu Bang."

He was talking to Chen Fan about a poetry meeting he was going to attend the next day. In fact, Ning Yi and the spy chief named Wen Renbuer sent by Mr. Qin had already had a second meeting in the past few days.

This was the agreed third meeting place, so I first checked in front of people like Liu Tiannan and said that it was Lou Shuwan who invited her there - in fact, it was Ning Yi who mentioned the poetry meeting today.

, Lou Shuwan happened to say that he also had an invitation - he didn't pay much attention to the simple historical question for a while. It wasn't until a group of people started talking about it, "Han Xin said this..." that he thought about it seriously.

"Uh... it seems... maybe... yes..."

After a long time, the famous saying "Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly" was spread through many strange ways. Most people believed that it was said by Ning Yi himself or his staff. As for what he kept saying, it was Han Xin.

What I said is still unknown even after many years...

Naturally, Ning Yi didn't know this at this time. While chatting and laughing with everyone, he was just thinking about tomorrow's poetry meeting. In the midst of such guests and friends talking and laughing, the night was getting darker.
