Xi Honglei didn't have a good rest all night because of the knock on the door. After dawn the next day, Xi Honglei saw Feng Rusong and Shukuang and asked them about what happened last night.
"Master, Brother Shu, did you knock on my door last night?" Xi Honglei sat listlessly on the chair, holding the side of his face with one hand, looking at Feng Rusong and the other two and asked.
"last night?"
Shu Kuang and Feng Rusong looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. After asking Xi Honglei about the specific time and what happened, Feng Rusong lowered his head and thought about it, then laughed out loud and said: "Maybe I drank too much.
?I don’t remember either.”
"Master..." Xi Honglei received this answer, which made her feel powerless from the bottom of her heart.
After the three of them had breakfast, Xi Honglei, Feng Rusong and Shukuang went for a walk on the street. They waited until noon before returning to the inn.
Xi Honglei looked at Mu Yunmeng's empty room, curled her lips, and murmured: "This young master has been gone for a really long time. Why hasn't he come back after a day?"
Xi Honglei sat alone in the room in a daze, while Feng Rusong stayed in the room with her. Sitting quietly in the corner of the room, Feng Rusong looked at Xi Honglei intently, thinking about Xi Honglei.
Red Tears asked herself questions in the morning.
Although Feng Rusong did drink a lot of wine last night and came back very late, he clearly remembered that he did not knock on the door to stop the red tears.
Who knocked on Xi Honglei’s door so late? He didn’t, Shu Kuang didn’t, and Mu Yunmeng hadn’t come back yet. Did someone go into the wrong room and find the wrong person? It was just an accident? No matter what, Feng
Everyone felt that this matter should not be taken carelessly.
It was not until evening that Mu Yunmeng finally appeared in the inn. He entered the room with a tired look on his face. After Mu Yunmeng rested in his room for a while, he got up and came to Xi Honglei's room.
Xi Honglei was sitting in the room reading a book, while Feng Rusong was lying on the table and fell asleep at some point.
"Where's Shu Kuang?" Mu Yunmeng asked in a low voice.
"I said I was going for a walk and would be back soon." Xi Honglei put down the book in his hand, looked up at Mu Yunmeng, and asked, "Has everything been dealt with?"
"That's almost it." Mu Yunmeng walked straight to Xi Honglei and rubbed her hair. He was about to say something, but Feng Rusong suddenly woke up.
"You're back." Feng Rusong yawned and sat up straight, then stood up unsteadily and said, "Then I'll go back to my room and sleep."
After saying that, Feng Rusong knew the current affairs and left, leaving Xi Honglei and Mu Yunmeng alone in the room.
After Feng Rusong left, Mu Yunmeng's cold expression softened a lot. Sitting next to Xi Honglei, Mu Yunmeng leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Xi Honglei with squinted eyes.
"Is what happened about Yuan Ruobing true?"
"We are still investigating. We will have to wait for about three days for any news."
"If it's true, what are you going to do?" Xi Honglei thought of the Minister of Household Affairs named Li Mingyang, "Can I kill him?"
In this special period, if any official of the imperial court dies, it will be like stabbing Ran Yunpo, who was already suffering a heavy blow.
"I haven't thought about this yet, but I might let Ran Yunpo handle it." Mu Yunmeng met Xi Honglei's surprised gaze and said with a smile: "Ran Yunpo was already unwilling to lose, and then he learned that one of his subordinates had such a
If a person assumes an important position, what do you think he will do?"
"Spread your anger on this person." Xi Honglei replied with sudden realization.
"That's right. Ran Yunpo will not give Li Mingyang any chance to refute, and he must kill him without hesitation."
"Then what are you going to do in Zizi Country after you send me back to Xixi Country?" This is also a question that suddenly occurred to Xi Honglei yesterday. "Are you going to help Zizi Country and attack Xuanxuan Country?"
"What do you want to say?" Seeing Xi Honglei suddenly mention this, Mu Yunmeng knew what she was thinking.
"If you want to win, you don't have to go back to Zizi Country. Wouldn't it be faster to cooperate with people from Zizi Country both internally and externally?" Xi Honglei looked at Mu Yunmeng seriously and said in a low voice: "As long as we let
The soldiers in front of the Xuanxuan Kingdom have no food, so this battle will be easy to fight. As the saying goes, "You can't gain geographical advantage without local leaders." You have lived in Xuanxuan Kingdom for so many years. There should be no one better than you.
You also need to be familiar with everything here. Song Zixuan is currently the only one holding on to the situation at the border. Even if Ran Yunpo sends someone to help, there will be no one left. Unless he goes into battle himself, or asks Ran Yunhao to come. But no matter who it is,
There is no way to solve the problem of food shortage."
Xi Honglei's words made Mu Yunmeng fall into deep thought. Before, he was only thinking about how to retaliate against Shu Rumei and Ran Yunpo, but he didn't put his mind at all on the war between the two countries. Because Mu Yunmeng was hostile to Zizi country.
He was very confident. He knew that if this war broke out, Zizi Country would definitely win. Apart from what Xi Honglei said, it was because of the war that he went back this time. The bigger reason was because of Mu Yunmeng.
Want to deal with the remaining forces in Zizi country.
He wanted to take care of everything and then go back to Xixi Country. After all, that was where he really wanted to stay.
"I saw yesterday that the government here was requisitioning grain from door to door. I thought it was because there was a shortage of food at the border, that's why they were so nervous. If you robbed this batch of food, it would be more expensive to get that batch of food.
It will take several days to transport it to the border again. These few days are enough to defeat the soldiers at the border."
Xi Honglei talked to Mu Yunmeng about her method with a calm expression, which made Mu Yunmeng suddenly feel so happy that she wanted to laugh. Xi Honglei saw the corners of Mu Yunmeng's mouth raised and smiled at herself, then stopped.
He came down and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
"Smile, you really have a lot of stuff in your head."
"Thank you for the compliment." Xi Honglei happily accepted Mu Yunmeng's compliment.
"Although the method is good, I don't want to do it." The smile at the corner of Mu Yunmeng's mouth slowly faded. "If I really want to do this, I must leave immediately. Are you willing to let me separate from you now?
"
When Mu Yunmeng was talking about such a serious matter, he still teased Xi Honglei, which made Xi Honglei soon lose control of his emotions.
Xi Honglei gritted her teeth, nodded vigorously, and said, "You can leave at any time, I won't stop you."
"We haven't seen each other for just one day, and you've become so heartless?" Mu Yunmeng smiled and raised her eyebrows, "You really don't want me to stay with you for a few more days?"
The reason why Mu Yunmeng didn't accept Xi Honglei's proposal was indeed because of this. He had plans and time to rob food, so he might as well stay with this girl for a few days. Anyway, even if he didn't do this, Zizi country would definitely try their best.
Use all your strength to win this battle.
Mu Yunmeng didn't want to separate from Xi Honglei so quickly, and he didn't want to go back to Zizi Country so soon.
Over the years, Mu Yunmeng spent a large part of his time in the Xuanxuan Kingdom and the Xixi Kingdom. There are many red scarf forces in Zizi Kingdom now. When Mu Yunmeng goes back, he will be entangled in the red scarf. Moreover,
The red scarf is also supported by a group of old diehards who give Mu Yunmeng a headache. His head hurts just thinking about it.
The current emperor of Zizi Kingdom is Mu Yunmeng's uncle, Mu Zichen. Mu Zichen loves Mu Yunmeng very much. Back then, he sent people to Xuanxuan Kingdom and found out that Mu Yunmeng was not dead.
After the news, Mu Zichen came personally and met with Mu Yunmeng.
In the days that followed, although Mu Yunmeng did not go back to Zizi country often, his correspondence with Mu Zichen was never broken. Because of Mu Yunmeng's relationship, Mu Zichen was unhappy about being sent to Zizi by Mu Yunmeng.
Hong Jin, who went to Zizi country, was equally pampered. Not only did she accept Hong Jin as her adopted daughter, but she also gave Hong Jin to the general who had no daughter, and she became the eldest lady of the general's palace.
Xi Honglei turned away in annoyance, not looking at Mu Yunmeng. Mu Yunmeng stared at Xi Honglei's reddish ears with interest, but also remained silent.
The four of us had dinner together. After eating, Xi Honglei, accompanied by Mu Yunmeng, went shopping on the street again. While passing by the bustling commercial street, Xi Honglei spotted several plaques
Familiar store.
Mu Yunmeng followed Xi Honglei's gaze and stopped. That was Xi's shop, but it was no longer what it used to be.
When Xi Yuanshan died, the Xi family was separated. Although Xi Jiabao and others are still alive, they still only know how to spend money and do not manage the Xi family's business at all.
Xi Honglei stood at the door of the store and quietly looked at the business situation of the store for a long time. Xijia's stores have branches all over the country, and they all have the same name, Lanzhifang. Things in Lanzhifang
, the audience consumer group has never been ordinary people. This was already noticed when Xi Honglei was managing accounts in Beijing.
Self-made products are of good quality and not cheap. Just a batch of fabrics is at least two or three times more expensive than an ordinary cloth store. But it is precisely because of this that those who like to compare with each other
Rich people like to go to Lanzhifang to buy things.
Now that the Xijia has collapsed, no one is managing the business. With funds not circulating, there is naturally no money to purchase goods. Therefore, the old goods left in the store have to be sold at a lower price. This also greatly reduces the number of customers and revenue.
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Yunmeng asked curiously when he saw that Xi Honglei had not made a sound for a long time.
"I was wondering when Lanzhifang would be unable to hold on any longer." Xi Honglei smiled lightly and looked at Mu Yunmeng, "Xi Jiabao and my Sanniang are not people who know how to do business.
My mother only knows how to eat fast and chant Buddha's name, and she doesn't care about business at all. One day, Lanzhifang will not be able to survive."
"Can't bear to leave?" Mu Yunmeng followed Xi Honglei's thoughts and asked.
"That's not the case. Rather than saying that I can't bear to let it become what it is now, I would rather say that I hope that it can no longer hold on and become a piece of loose sand."
