Du Xuan didn't want to make it so troublesome if it could be explained in a few sentences.
But when I opened the letters, I always felt guilty.
After Shen Lie finished explaining the whole story, Du Xuan handed the letter to Xia Zhaoyi.
Shen Lie couldn't sit here and watch another man mean to her in front of her. She was about to leave, but saw Xia Zhaoyi glance at it and put the letter away.
"Brother Du," Xia Zhaoyi looked at Du Xuan, "have you read the contents of the letter?"
"……Um."
"Is there anything important?"
"Uh, no."
"Really?"
"This whole article is full of nonsense!"
Xia Zhaoyi then threw the letter and the envelope into the bonfire in front of him.
Du Xuan was overjoyed: "Ah Li, just throw it away."
Xia Zhaoyi watched the letter shrink and twist in the firelight, turning into black charcoal: "Since there is nothing important, why waste time reading it? His nonsense would have made me vomit in the capital back then."
Du Xuan gently tugged on Shen Lie's clothes, leaned closer and whispered: "Ah Li just read the beginning and said it was nonsense. The beginning of the letter was a love poem. From this point of view, when Ah Li Shang was still young, this dog So I wrote a love poem to Ah Li!"
Shen Lie knew what was going on almost instantly. He frowned slightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"But Master..."
Xia Zhaoyi raised his cheeks and looked at him: "Shen Lie, Brother Du, what are you muttering about?"
"Ah Li," Shen Lie said, "I haven't eaten anything yet. I'll go get it. I know you haven't eaten either, so I'll bring it with you."
"good."
Shen Lie stood up. Du Xuan saw this and moved towards Xia Zhaoyi. Shen Lie grabbed him and said, "Let's go."
Xia Zhaoyi was amused by Du Xuan's appearance, and the corners of her lips were sweet.
The bonfire burned the dry wood with a crisp sound. Xia Zhaoyi turned sideways and looked at the map left by Shen Lie, then picked it up by the light of the fire and looked at the mountains heading towards the capital city of Hezhou.
Finally, her eyes fell on her old clothes, Liu Jingfu.
When Shen Lie and Du Xuan came back, they saw the girl holding the map and thinking deeply.
They sat down quietly, and she didn't seem to notice.
"Ah Li," Shen Lie said, "Let's have something to eat."
"Shen Lie," Xia Zhaoyi said in a low voice, "could it be that Mu Tingyu deliberately chose to stay in Jingfu in order to attract other people's attention and arouse suspicion, but in fact, there is nothing here."
Shen Lie lowered his head and looked at the map.
"Gu Yi, the homophone for "Liu Jingfu" is "deliberate", and the homophone for "Liu Jingfu" is "Liu Jingfu". If he chose this place on purpose, he would be able to do such a boring thing."
"Then," Shen Lie said in a deep voice, "is it possible that he did do something here, and the purpose of choosing this place is for these two homophonic sounds, like a blind trick to tease others, but in fact there is Object."
"It's not easy to grasp this idea completely," Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyes with bright eyes, "Instead of us guessing him, it's better to let him guess us."
This "we" made Shen Lie smile, and he pointed towards the southwest of Liujing Mansion: "I just discussed with Du Xuan and wanted to send someone here."
"Shou Shi." Xia Zhaoyi looked at it.
"I am here to attract Song Zhiyi and Zuilu Guo. If their troops are coming, they will definitely pass by Gu Yi."
"Leverage your strength," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "It seems that making enemies in many places is also beneficial."
"And here," Shen Lie's fingers moved to the northwest where the Bishan River and the Dongjiang River divide, "Ali, do you still remember this place."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the big ferry and said in a deep voice: "Pei Feng."
My heart also became heavy.
On February 11th of the Gengyin year, Zhao Zuo led his troops to retreat from Peifeng. On February 16th, Lin Yao finally entered the city. The first thing he did was to massacre nearly half of Peifeng's citizens, totaling 70,000. Multiple people.
"You and I both wanted to keep Pei Feng." Shen Lie said.
"My master said that life is difficult for the common people," Xia Zhaoyi said softly, "I don't know when this troubled world will end."
His deep and deep eyes stared at the girl's slightly lowered profile, and for a moment, there was an undercurrent surging in his calm heart.
"Lin Yao has been hiding in the city these years," Shen Lie still said in a calm voice. "The peifeng he tried so hard to capture has become a cage trapping himself. For the hungry trapped beast So, what does he want most?"
"Freedom and food," Xia Zhaoyi looked back at his old clothes, "then we will send this trap to lure the snake out of the hole, and then continue to use our strength to fight."
When the time comes, it will be up to these forces to cause trouble for the Liujing Mansion, and they will watch from the sidelines.
"However," Xia Zhaoyi raised her eyes and looked into Shen Lie's dark jade-like eyes, "Shen Lie, the situation will be completely different next year. This year it will become stable. Next year, it will start to grab food."
"You don't have to worry about me. I'll be safe in Tanzhou." Shen Lie said gently.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly and looked up at the distant night sky. The Tianshan Mountains were the same color and covered with white snow. Her eyes were calm, but Shen Lie could see compassion in her eyes.
When Xia Zhaoyi mentioned the hardship of common people just now, he thought of his master.
Then, I thought of Zhu Xian again.
The word "common people" he used before his death always made her feel sour from time to time.
But there is nothing she can do to stop the giant wheel of history. Next year, this giant wheel will roll in, shattering bones and splattering blood, and at least one million more creatures will die tragically under it.
This does not require hexagrams or calculations, it is inevitable.
The reason why this year is stable is because after several years of fighting, you and I are fighting for it, and the world situation is basically in its infancy. People like Lin Yao, Qian Xianmin and others have experienced enough frustration in the past few years, and most of their ambitions have been worn away. And those big careerists, Song Zhiyi, Tian Dayao, Yun Bozhong, are just fierce and timid. Looking at their stalemate in Mouye for so long, we know that none of them dare to act rashly. But next year, this pattern will definitely be changed. Break. How can we allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the bed? The world is falling apart. You and I are piece by piece. Who doesn’t want to create a complete grand plan for the country?
Besides them, there will be new refugees and new families.
The porridge was almost cold, so Shen Lie softly asked the girl to drink the porridge first.
He was going back tomorrow afternoon, so after finishing his porridge, Xia Zhaoyi accompanied him for a slow walk around the area.
The wind and snow were still strong at night, and they each held an umbrella. In the cold weather and snow, they were getting farther and farther away from the light of the tent where they were staying.
The biggest difference between snow and rain is the sound of water dripping against the umbrella surface. So if there is no wind, there will only be very soft voices between the two of them, making it even more quiet.
The most talked about topic was when Shen Lie asked about Xia Zhaoyi's plans for Li Qian.
Xia Zhaoyi mentioned that the shortcut to Nongjiang Road was discovered outside the Huimen River in Weiping Prefecture. The first thing to do was to cut off all connections between Li Qian and the outside world, and cut off their ears, eyes, mouth, and nose.
Xia Zhaoyi asked about some things that Shen Lie was familiar with, but what Shen Lie knew was indeed limited.
While speaking, Shen Lie noticed that the girl paused several times and hesitated to speak.
Shen Lie took the initiative to ask, but Xia Zhaoyi didn't say a word in the end.
She wanted to say it was Tang Xiangsi, but she didn't know where to say it.
Because when we talk about Tang Acacia, we must mention the deceased.
How terrible, a person who has passed away and yet comes back to life.
