After Xia Zhaoyi read the letter, her eyes were filled with joy: "It's so kind of Magistrate Xu to be willing to help me in such a difficult situation."
Cai Ershui said: "Miss Ali, you helped us."
Xia Zhaoyi put away the letter and said seriously: "Compared to what I did for you, what you did for me is a big deal. If this happens, it will be a great achievement."
"Miss Ali, what's going on?" Mu Tingyu was curious.
Xia Zhaoyi said: "The mountains and the sea are flat, and the shipyard is built."
"Ping, flat mountains and seas?"
"It's not difficult. The east seaside of Gaoxi Town is endless. There is only a small abrupt hill there. Just chisel it off."
Mu Tingyu still found it unbelievable: "How can hills and mountains be chiseled away so easily..."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at Cai Ershui: "Actually, I don't need Magistrate Xu to work too hard, but since I can't get away for the time being, I need Magistrate Xu to help me allocate manpower for the time being. I will go there to delineate the area on a certain day. I will keep a lot of manpower in the future."
Over there."
Cai Ershui said: "Okay, Miss Ah Li, if you have any other instructions, please tell me."
"If I have anything, I'll write it on paper and you can take it back. You've traveled across mountains and rivers to get here, so go and rest first."
After Cai Ershui left with the waiter, Zhan Ning said: "Second Miss, are you going to Lingzhou?"
Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "I will go there once before leaving Hejing."
"Leave Hejing?" Mu Tingyu and Yang Guanxian said in unison.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said: "Director Li has to leave. The war in Beiyuan has been going on for a long time and it should be over."
As he said that, Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows and looked out the door. Master should be awake at this moment.
And Shen Lie, why haven't you returned to the city?
After receiving so many letters, the first one she read was from him, the second one was related to him, and the third one too.
Didn't it mean that everything was going smoothly and everything went well?
Xia Zhaoyi raised her hand to rub her aching temples, then continued to open the letter and continue reading.
·
Shen Lie didn't like banquets. When he was in Tanzhou, he was constantly being entertained by Lin Jianrui at banquets. In the end, he couldn't even endure it. They just excused his illness and asked his subordinates to "suffer" for him.
But now, Cheng Jieshi said that the Bi family army was going to the northwest, and they should hold a banquet to practice it no matter what.
This was reasonable and Shen Lie could not refuse.
There was no way to hold a banquet in the barren mountains, so we had to return to Hejing in the end.
The 40,000-strong army could not be arranged by everyone, so Bi Xinglei brought a group of generals into the city. Xia Zhaoyi learned about it at the time of application and asked where the restaurant where the banquet was held was.
After the visitor finished answering, Xia Zhaoyi saw the old man and Sect Master Gu appearing at the door, and smiled: "Master."
Elder Sect Leader Gu said: "What about me."
Xia Zhaoyi said: "Good afternoon, Old Sect Leader Gu."
The old man asked: "Where is Yuming Restaurant?"
Xia Zhaoyi didn't know, but the visitor was still uneasy and said: "Here, Yujie."
Not only the visitor, but also other people in the room were afraid to speak because of the old man's sudden appearance.
Even social cows like Mu Tingyu suddenly seemed to be unable to get up.
The old man nodded.
Sect Master Gu asked: "Are you going?"
The old man frowned slightly: "What should I do?"
Elder Sect Leader Gu said: "Aren't you going to see Shen Lie?"
Xia Zhaoyi was curious: "Master, what do you want from Shen Lie?"
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Disciple, come here."
Xia Zhaoyi was puzzled, but still put down the pen in his hand, got up and went out.
Old Sect Master Gu followed their master and disciples with all their might, and followed them into a private room in a restaurant.
He closed the door and turned around to meet the old man's emotionless eyes.
However, the old man just glanced at him and then looked at Xia Zhaoyi: "Apprentice, are you and Shen Lie in love?"
Xia Zhaoyi was greeted by a sudden question. She was stunned for a moment. After a while, she said: "Not really, right?"
"what for?"
Xia Zhaoyi's eyes were bright and magnanimous: "I like him, maybe he might... also like me?"
The old man clasped his hands behind his back, his eyebrows slightly raised, and suddenly, he sighed softly.
Xia Zhaoyi was puzzled: "Master, why are you sighing?"
Old Sect Master Gu interrupted abruptly: "Maybe, your master doesn't like Shen Lie."
Xia Zhaoyi suddenly smiled and said without thinking: "Whether Master likes it or doesn't like it, he won't sigh. Maybe Master is afraid that I will be hurt emotionally."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the old man: "Master, is that right?"
The old man said quietly: "Disciple, do you know that the word "love" is quite vulgar."
Xia Zhaoyi said seriously: "I know, and I also know that it will make people confused and confused. But Master, I still want to give it a try, and I will be responsible for the consequences."
The old man said: "You know it's impossible and you do it. Maybe it's Shen Lie who makes you think you can give it a try."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled brightly: "Master, don't think about it, if you wait for others, can I be moved?"
After reasoning like this, the old man nodded, it was indeed true.
Thinking of Shen Lie's shocking appearance when he first saw him, the old man nodded again.
Elder Sect Leader Gu asked: "What are you nodding to?"
The old man's voice was low: "In this case, I have to go to Shen Lie and ask if he is interested in you. Disciple, you must be prepared. If he doesn't like you, he will just treat you as a little girl. You can get out in time. Don’t fall into it again.”
Xia Zhaoyi was amused by his serious appearance: "Master, if he doesn't like me, he doesn't like me. If I still like him, then I will like him. Why bother to talk about withdrawing? It's so tiring."
Old Sect Master Gu paused and gave a thumbs up: "As expected of a great disciple, he has a clear understanding and is far better than your master!"
The old man said calmly: "I'm afraid you may know it's easier than doing it."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Master, don't be afraid, I can carry it clearly."
Someone was looking for him outside the door, but he was stopped by Mu Tingyu, saying that it was inconvenient now.
But all three people in the room heard it.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the old man: "Master, let me go and take a look."
The old man nodded: "Yes."
After Xia Zhaoyi left, the old man's expression was still solemn. He turned to the window and looked out the window at the scenery.
Old Sect Leader Gu followed and stood beside him: "I really envy you, your apprentice is so spiritual."
The old man didn't speak, his face was still stern in his mind, there were too many uncertain factors.
"Are you afraid that your disciple will be harmed?" Old Sect Leader Gu asked.
The old man nodded lightly and said softly: "I can teach you everything else, but I don't know how to heal emotional wounds."
"Why do you think the worst? How do you know it's just love?"
"I've thought about the good side, and I don't need to do anything. But when I think about the bad side, I can't do anything."
Old Sect Master Gu paused slightly, his expression became solemn and serious, and said: "I understand, you are the best at preparing for a rainy day, and you are always thoughtful, so it is difficult for you, an unsophisticated person like you."
The old man frowned lightly and said in a deep voice: "That's all, I hope I'm worrying too much. She has an open-minded and cheerful temperament, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Alas."
Old Sect Master Gu was surprised: "You actually sigh sometimes!"
The old man looked at him and turned around to go out.
"Where are you going?" Old Sect Master Gu followed.
