Seeing that the foreman was about to kick Chu Yi away from his leg, Tayue stepped forward and held his shoulders.
The foreman felt a strong force, like a mountain bearing down on the top of the mountain. His whole body seemed to have been drained of strength and he was unable to move.
He glanced at Tu Yue with some horror, then looked at Huo Xi.
"I'm sorry, it's me who delayed your work." Huo Xi hurriedly said when she saw that many people on the construction site stopped what they were doing and stared at the excitement.
When Ta Yue saw Huo Xi making a sound, she let go of the hand holding the foreman's shoulder, and took advantage of the situation to lift Chu Yi up.
The foreman moved his shoulders, glanced at Chu Yi again, turned around and wanted to walk away.
"Don't leave, where is my father? Please tell me." Chu Yi was about to pounce on him again.
The man's eyes narrowed: "I don't know where your father is. Your father quit his job a few days ago."
"You lied to me! They said you asked my father to do private work. The work was too heavy. My father was tired and sick, and you refused to pay for his treatment. You must know where my father is! Don't even think about harming me.
My dad!"
A hint of evil flashed in the foreman's eyes.
He glanced sideways at Tayue. If it weren't for this man's skill, none of these people would be able to leave.
"Come on, this is not the place for you to come!"
"First grade of junior high school!"
Huo Xi drank in the first grade of junior high school. Even if the facts were as stated in the first grade of junior high school, he couldn't ask anything at this time and could only think of another way.
"If you don't leave, you will stay here and don't follow me again!"
After saying that, he didn’t pay attention to the first grade’s reaction. He just raised his legs and turned around...
Uh... I almost bumped into someone.
Their eyes met, "Why are you here?" Huo Xi looked at Mu Yan with a look of astonishment on his face.
Shouldn't I ask you? Mu Yan glanced at her lightly.
He glanced at the foreman again.
The foreman felt a surge of coercion coming over him, and his hands and legs became stiff.
"Little...young master, why are you here in Peiping?" Kan Er was very happy to see Huo Xi. It was like being in a foreign country or being surprised by meeting an acquaintance.
"Go back first." Mu Yan said calmly.
Everyone had no choice but to turn around and leave.
The carriage was led by three masters and servants, Mu Yan, and entered a restaurant.
Seeing Mu Yan's cold face, Xiang Xiang and Xia He didn't dare to approach. They stopped at the door and did not go in. They also held Chu Yi and You Qing back. However, Ta Yue followed in.
Li Yi stared at his back for a few seconds.
When Tu Yue entered, Kan Er also stared at Tu Yue and looked at her.
Mu Yan glanced at Ta Yue and saw him standing quietly behind Huo Naxi, looking at him calmly.
A feeling that was very familiar to Mu Yan suddenly occurred. The man in front of him was very similar to the feeling that Qian San Kun Si gave people.
When did this girl accept such a person? She looked at Huo Xi.
Huo Xi didn't notice at all that those men had strangled them with her eyes several times in front of her.
It's nice to see familiar people in Peiping. "Didn't you go to Peking? Why are you here?"
"Isn't this the north?"
Uh? That's right. Are you coming to Peking City for inspection? "I thought you were going to the border."
"just came back."
Oh. "We're not going to fight, are we?" His eyes widened again.
But don't, she just bought so much property here. Once there is a war, the house will be empty. But what should I do if things are planted in the fields, the servants run away, and the food is robbed?
"There are small-scale nuisances, but they don't dare to invade on a large scale."
Huo Xi breathed out a sigh of relief. It would be better if we didn't fight. I have been a man of peace for a long time, and I don't want to be a dog in troubled times.
"Why don't you stay in Jiangnan?"
Huo Xi did not answer. Instead, she leaned over and whispered: "I heard that the emperor is coming to the north to find auspicious soil?"
The warm breath blew on Mu Yan's face, making him feel slightly uncomfortable. He leaned back and his ears felt a little warm.
Without looking at her, he lowered his eyes and stared at the teacup on the table: "Where did you hear that?"
"You can guess this." Huo Xi looked like she had seen through it all.
Li Yi didn't speak. Most of the time, he just thought about the possible origin of Tie Yue. But Kan Er couldn't hold it back: "There is no news in the market, how did Madam Huo know about it."
"Queen Xu is still staying in the Ling Palace, near Yingtian Mansion, and the construction of the mausoleum has not started yet. Isn't it obvious?"
Not obvious.
Of course, maybe everyone just doesn’t want to believe it. Moving the capital is such a big deal, it’s related to the fate of the country.
Maybe the treasury will be empty in the end, and someone may take advantage of it.
Mu Yan's mind went around in circles.
He nodded to her: "You guessed it right. Now the Minister of Rites, the Feng Shui master and others have selected auspicious soil in Tianshou Mountain in Changping County."
This news cannot be concealed, and the emperor does not want to conceal it. It is estimated that it will be spread back to the capital soon.
Originally, everyone only secretly speculated that the emperor would move the capital. But this was related to the fate of the country, and there were many objections from the court. His Majesty used the excuse of building the Northern Patrol Palace and repairing the old palace of King Yan to keep a low profile.
But with the selection of the location of the mausoleum, it is now equivalent to showing the world that the emperor is determined to move the capital.
Mu Yan didn't intend to say more.
Seeing the expression on Huo Xi's face that she had known about it for a long time, she thought she was just a young lady and this kind of news had little to do with her, so she didn't react much.
No, it does matter. Look at this little liar. Didn't he just come to Peking to buy property first?
Mu Yan raised the corner of his mouth, then quickly suppressed it. When Huo Xi looked again, he saw his face was paralyzed again.
Now that Huo Xi has bought some real estate, she thinks if the news spreads, it won't hinder her.
Previously, she just wanted to buy a property quietly and quickly. Now that the purchase was finalized, she thought it would be better if the news spread. If the land and housing prices increased, wouldn't the value of her house increase?
That mentality is exactly the same as that of a house buyer who hopes that land prices will fall, and then hopes that land prices will rise when it is time to sell his house.
After some pleasantries, Mu Yan asked her what happened just now, and Huo Xi explained.
Mu Yan pondered, turned to look at Li Yikaner, and Li Yixin understood: "I'll take care of it."
Mu Yan then looked at Huo Xi: "Let Li Yikaner go and investigate secretly, and you will wait for the news. If you are not familiar with Peiping, don't run around. There are still many foreigners living in the city."
"Are there still foreigners living in the city?"
Mu Yan nodded.
Peiping was once the capital of the Wu dynasty, so naturally many foreigners lived there.
Although the remnants of the Wu Dynasty fled deeper into the grassland, after living in Peiping for nearly a hundred years, many grassland people have long been accustomed to living like this, and they are no longer used to living in yurts.
Moreover, people have been intermarried with Han people for several generations, and there are many old relatives by marriage, so it is not easy to just leave.
Those with pure blood from foreign races, those with mixed blood from intermarriage with Han Chinese, and those with relatives from other races on the grassland. This kind of race has a complex population structure in Beiping City, and is not as peaceful as it appears.
After Taizu established his dynasty, he closed the mutual trade with the grassland peoples. However, the grassland peoples lacked salt and iron. When winter came, they needed warm clothes and did not dare to snatch them. They could only go to Peiping to do business secretly.
Among them are these foreigners, as well as Han Chinese.
The Han people wanted to make profits by selling cattle, sheep, and horses, so they secretly transported salt, iron, and other daily necessities to trade with foreigners.
"You need to take more people with you when you go out. If you are captured, you will be nowhere to be found in the vast grassland."
Mu Yan raised his eyelids as he spoke and glanced at Tayue.
Huo Xi shivered intelligently.
The grassland aliens were driven into the depths of the grassland by the Han people, and were beaten to pieces by the Wei Dynasty. The population was probably reduced to zero. If they were captured, what kind of tools would they be?
Hiding deep in the vast grassland, I was afraid that I would never be able to return home.
When Kan Er saw her like that, he chuckled and saw that the young master was so frightened.
Just as he was about to speak, the young master gave him a cold look and he quickly pursed his lips.
