Chapter 287 The beginning of the trivial matter under the iron curtain

After what happened in Sijizhai that night, Lou Shuwan didn't take the initiative to look for Ning Yi again. What her brother Lou Shuwang said about Ning Yi's background made her feel like she was in a cloud dream.Originally, she was just an outstanding man she knew by her side, and she even had a feeling that only she knew that no one else knew him. Suddenly, she realized that she had greatly underestimated the other party. It's not out of her reach at all.It was also the first time she had experienced this feeling.

Lou Shuwan, who can face Shi Bao and the others in Taiping Lane with his own strength, and use thousands of defeated soldiers to turn things around while fleeing all the way, what kind of level is such a person on the table? It's hard to position.Of course, rationally speaking, if she can be calm and objective, she actually agrees with her brother's statement. Manpower is sometimes poor, and he is a hero. It's hard to say clearly, but in any case, when he can't take advantage of the situation, the Sijizhai situation is indeed an unsolvable deadlock.

The problem that I, or the elder brother, seem to be unsolvable may seem to him to be an easy thing to turn over with a raise of a hand-this kind of mood, for Lou Shuwan who still maintains a trace of calm, even if it will rise, Then he was also pressed in the corner of his heart.

What happened in the city this night, big and small, even when she returned home, Lou Shuwan, who couldn't sleep, could hear occasional messages as the servant girl walked around.Regarding the various turmoil in the city at this time, the Lou family who has not long been affiliated will inevitably be the most sensitive group of people, but the news about Four Seasons Zhai is naturally not among them. I heard some news from the whispers of Wei Lingxue and others.

Since she was picked up by her elder brother, Ning Yi and her companions did not retreat in the face of Li Tianyou's aggression. In the end, the scholar named Ning Yi beheaded his opponent on the spot in a one-on-one duel—when she After learning about this from Wei Lingxue, Qin Gulai and others who deliberately wanted to make amends, their hearts were really messed up to the point where it couldn't be worse.

In this way, who is Su Tan'er's husband-in-law...

The figure that I thought I could see clearly, at this moment, finally became blurred.In fact, Wei Lingxue and Qin Gulai didn't take the initiative to inquire about Ning Yi's news. The news actually came from the elder brother's subordinates, indicating that the elder brother is also paying attention to the development of the matter.She went all the way to the courtyard of the eldest brother, and the fog was filled, but Lou Shuwang had already got up to do things. Several stewards listened to the words in the study and went out. walk by.Lou Shuwang was dealing with the report from his entourage, he probably just washed his face and looked up at her.

"...Since there is a relationship with the Qi family, I have to resign first, and the matter must be settled...Follow the rules, the accountant will pay 20 taels..." While talking, Lou Shuwang bowed his head and wrote a note, After the servant took the note and left, before he left the desk, he gently squeezed the palm of his left hand with his right hand, and said, "Get up? Li Tianrun came back this morning, and the situation will be tense for a while. You have to be mentally prepared, and with the Qi family If you don’t want to get in touch with someone, don’t get in touch with them any more.”

Lou Shuwan looked at him, although she was a little alert to the news that Li Tianrun was about to return to the city, she just said, "I didn't sleep last night."

Lou Shuwang was not surprised. He nodded and put his hand on the bridge of his nose: "Well, I didn't sleep, and my father must have been busy all night. Your second brother didn't come home all night... it was Fang Zhong who was punished. It’s no big deal to stay there overnight.”

This may be regarded as casual looking for something to say, but Lou Shuwan didn't think about what to say when she came here. At this time, she sat down on the chair next to her and looked at her elder brother in silence for a moment: "He is still alive."

"I know, I've heard about it." Lou Shuwang's tone was not surprising. To him, it was not a big deal after all. The Lou family is now closely related to the Fang La court and maintains the operation of Hangzhou. , he deals with countless things big and small every day, and what is about Ning Liheng is nothing more than some jealousy between his younger siblings, and it is related to a man who seems to be quite outstanding. He overlooks this matter from the perspective of a superior Yes, even if some details are wrong, there is no need to make a fuss.

"Forced by the situation, Li Tianyou had to agree to a one-on-one fight with him, and finally a master next to Li Tianyou played... Ning Yi is not an easy person to be able to fight a way under such circumstances. It is also heard that It was someone from the Badao Camp who came forward. But... after your second brother returns, you should know his whereabouts."

"...Brother, you said it's not easy, do you still have to let the second brother fight him?"

"I won't participate. This is your second brother's business. There are many people who are not easy. Now in Hangzhou, if you walk on the street with a knife, you can find eight out of ten people who are not easy. Even you The two people around me also have the thing of one against the crowd... It depends on where they are placed... I told you last night, forget it, Shu Wan, stop thinking about it, keep thinking about it, It's no good, and it's not just your second brother, once Li Tianrun comes back, no one will be able to provoke them..."

What the elder brother said is right.Lou Shuwan couldn't sum up her emotions towards Ning Yi for a while, sometimes she felt close and sometimes far away, even the idea that the two could be together not long ago also changed, sometimes full and sometimes empty in her heart .But in a short time, after all, it was impossible to take the initiative to find him.After Li Tianrun returned to the city, the situation in Hangzhou became chilly again, and a large-scale liquidation and raid began on the Zhao'an faction who favored the imperial court.The pressure of Tong Guan going south is not far to the north, this is to prepare for the next defense of the city.

Although this matter will not easily affect the Lou family, as a woman, Lou Shuwan will no longer go out in the following days, and only deal with some matters at hand at home.But in fact, the shadow of war and the pressure of arresting people from the outside world loomed over, and the circulation of various materials on the market became more rigid. Everything was only maintained step by step, and there was no need for much room for operation.But the public affairs are more on the heads of the men in the family, she began to become more and more leisurely, and on such days, occasionally watching the dead leaves fall in the yard, thinking about Ning Yi How is it living today.

Ning Yi is actually quite idle.

After the matter of Four Seasons Zhai is over, there is not much follow-up for the time being.He was injured, and while recuperating, the classes at Wenlie Academy were also suspended, so he was able to relax for a few days.Li Tianrun's return to the city was already psychologically prepared, and it would not cause too much impact on Badaoying. The only thing that was affected might be the soaring prices in the atmosphere of killing people all over the city.

At this time, the harvest of autumn grain has been finished. Even though this year has endured the war, it is also the time when the grain is most abundant this year.However, these grains have been divided up by various forces at this time, and at the moment when the shadow of war is about to fall, less and less food will be released to the outside world.At least there will be various food reserves and subsidies inside the Badao Camp, which will not have too much impact on everyone's life in the short term.But outside these circles, life gets harder.

The deeds of Ning Yi beheading Tang Kou in Sijizhai became a topic in a small area of ​​Xiliu Street in a short period of time, but what is even more interesting to talk about is the deeds of Liu Dabiao's single-handed battle against the heroes that day.Those who don't know the inside story can probably only hear that Liu Dabiao, the tyrant sword, defeated Qi Yuankang, the soul-hunting spear, and then used the rules of the rivers and lakes to fight against the three brothers of the Qi family who came to revenge with one sword and win a big victory. It is said that Liu Dabiao is a man with chest hair A dignified hero with a height of eight feet and a waist circumference of eight feet...

For those who really know the inside story, Liu Xigua did these things as a woman, which is undoubtedly amazing.The rebellion about Qi Yuankang could have waited until Li Tianrun returned to the city, but the Badao Battalion, which has always been low-key, and the rest of its own side launched it in advance, mainly to show their strength before Li Tianrun returned.However, after this act, there was another unexpected consequence, which quietly surfaced in the next few days.

That Liu Xigua should get married...

No one has said this clearly, but rumors about "Lou Jingzhi is going to propose marriage to Liu Xigua" and "Lou Jingzhi has an affair with Liu Xigua" have begun to surface again among the senior officials of the Fangla military department. , although it was only spread by word of mouth at a very high level, not long after, the number of young talents sent to Badaoying to contact and handle affairs obviously increased. They were skeptical about the ambiguous relationship between Liu Xigua and Lou Jingzhi, but it seemed that everyone agreed that Liu Xigua should get married, so they all wanted to try their luck. Badaoying was caught in an ambiguous atmosphere about blind dates.

Liu Xigua was recuperating in the inner courtyard, and he didn't see anyone. Under the cover of the manager Liu Tiannan, he didn't know that the outside became so disgusting. If he knew, he would have to chop Lou Jingzhi with his internal injuries.In fact, Lou Jingzhi is relatively innocent in this matter. As a proud person, the relationship between him and Liu Xigua cannot be told to outsiders. Even if his father asked, he would at most say "don't worry about it." .This time Lou Minzhong had a preconceived idea that something was going on, and he was probably already thinking about proposing marriage.

Maybe the girl is already preparing for a change in her heart, maybe she has made up her mind, but she still hasn't taken any action at the moment. After all, the matter is too big and needs more consideration and more weighing, so as to make sure that the enthusiasm for this moment will not be gone. worth nothing.

Ning Yi went to see her twice, and neither of them mentioned this matter.His injury was not serious, and he recovered much faster than Liu Xigua. After two or three days, there was no longer any hindrance to his body.At this time, the big manhunt that Li Tianrun started after returning to the city has already caused a lot of noise in the city, and Ning Yi is already making preparations, waiting for the arrival of the big report from the Li family, but before that, there are other things, unexpectedly burst out.

It was not yet dawn in the early morning of this day, and there was a hurried knock on the door outside the courtyard. Ning Yi got up and opened the door. A student from the academy appeared outside the door.The boy's name is Zhuo Xiaofeng, and he is not a student directly taught by Ning Yi. He is a member of the camp that was originally hostile to Ning Yi.The boy's father is an aide in Fang La's army. He is 14 years old this year, and he is intelligent. Among the group of children, he is also regarded as a think tank.

Every time the other party saw Ning Yi, he always had an attitude of strife and confrontation, but when he appeared outside the door, he was panting and anxious. Ning Yi's first reaction was that Zhuo's family was affected by the turmoil of this purge , was ransacked home.He saw that there were no pursuers outside the door, and quickly pulled them in, but after some inquiries, he found out that during the few days before he went to the academy for class, two groups of children were still fighting openly and secretly inside and outside the academy.Competing to be the good guy and catching the bad guys is certainly a good thing, but this time, they finally met someone they couldn't afford to mess with...
