Chapter 1419 Waiting For Revenge
The old man was in the house, writing a letter.

The old friends' letters were all forwarded to Hejing by the old Suzerain Pei of the Yuanhe Sect. He read each letter and returned each letter.

The door of the room was not closed, and the open window formed a circulating wind, keeping the room cool and refreshing.

Xia Zhaoyi knocked on the door, but the old man didn't turn his head, and he knew it was her by the rhythm: "Come in."

Xia Zhaoyi came over and said, "Master, it's almost there. I can go to Liling tomorrow."

The old man paused his pen, raised his eyes to look out the window, and said, "After going to Liling, do you want to go back to Hejing?"

"I don't know, but this Hejing seems to have no need for me for the time being."

The old man nodded: "Well, you have already laid out the first frame for them. After so many days in the past, they can always adapt to the days without the emperor."

Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows and said, "The difficulty lies in the future."

"Isn't it difficult, apprentice, do you know what is the change in the imperial court that I hate the most as a teacher, but what is it that I admire the most?"

Xia Zhaoyi thought for a while and said, "Imperial examination?"

The old man looked relieved, and turned to look at her: "Before the imperial examination, the gentry was everywhere and monopolized all power. The imperial examination system is the only way for the poor to ascend to the top. But it took hundreds of years to implement it. .Many things, if you do your best, good fortune will be left to the world, and you don’t have to do everything yourself.”

"I understand, Master."

The old man said: "Go and clean up your clothes, go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow. However, it is still raining heavily in Lingzhou."

"It's the height of summer, so I'm going. I'm not afraid of heavy rain. I'll stay until the end of summer and autumn. When the southeast gale comes, they need a stable house to shelter from the wind."

The old man nodded: "Although they have lived in Lingzhou for thousands of years, they have thousands of experiences in preventing strong winds. However, the number of people who die due to strong winds has never decreased every year, ranging from hundreds to thousands. In 15 years The previous gale caused tens of thousands of deaths and injuries. If there were so many deaths and injuries today, under the instigation of those rebels in Lingzhou, more people would be trapped in ruins."

"So this trip to Lingzhou, I must go."

The old man said: "Go and clean up."

"Ah."

No matter where he went, Xia Zhaoyi never carried many clothes with him, and this time there were only a few changes of clothes.

After packing up, she went to Yang Guanxian for an examination. She was pleased with the speed of his wound recovery, but still felt that he needed to lose weight.

In addition to her body, she also explained the current political situation in Hejing, and gave several names that Yang Guanxian could reuse. Finally, she mentioned the letter that Zhuang Mengyao asked Zeng Liliang to write to Yu Shiling.

Upon hearing Zhuang Mengyao's words, Yang Guanxian was so angry that he almost jumped up, but was held down by Xia Zhaoyi: "Don't worry."

Yang Guanxian's lips trembled with anger: "That fellow Zhuang Mengyao took away half of my life's hard work! All the belongings I brought from the Zuixian Tower in the capital were taken away by him!! I have suffered a lot in the past few years!! "

Shopkeeper Hu didn't know the ins and outs, but seeing Yang Guanxian who had been laughing and scolding while wiping away his tears, he hurried to pour warm water, handed it to Yang Guanxian, and scolded with him.

Xia Zhaoyi sat on the round stool beside the bed, with his right leg resting on his left, and lightly tapped his fingers on his knees, and said with a smile, "No way, Yang Guanxian, I will send this opportunity of revenge to you. , why are you still crying?"

Yang Guanxian stopped wiping his tears, and blinked at the girl with mung bean-sized eyes.

Shopkeeper Hu said at the right time: "That's right, don't cry, listen carefully to what the boss has to say."

"Miss Ali, you mean..." Yang Guanxian murmured.

"Zhuang Mengyao is more nervous about the situation in Hejing than anyone else, and you are almost a powerful minister of Hejing now. Don't you feel refreshed to avenge this revenge?"

"Yes, yes!" Yang Guanxian was elated at the words, "If Zhuang Mengyao knew that even Yu Shiling would be polite when he saw me, what kind of expression would he have?!"

Shopkeeper Hu said: "That's right, don't make him mad!"

"However," Yang Guanxian wiped away the tears on his face, "Miss Ali, what do you think? Zhuang Mengyao, how should we deal with it? Should we be polite and be friends, or drive him out? Pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, humiliating me?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and asked back: "Don't you want to throw your eyebrows out?"

"Of course I want to! But I can't be arrogant at this moment. The personal enmity between Zhuang Mengyao and I is nothing compared to the situation in these two places!"

Xia Zhaoyi praised: "Have courage."

"Then...shall I be polite?"

"No need," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "It's not about our attitude. It's Zhuang Mengyao's problem. You can adapt to the situation at that time. How to deal with it is up to you to judge."

"In case I screw up..."

Xia Zhaoyi interrupted him: "Song Zhiyi's territory was divided in the middle by Zhuang Mengyao's Jiangnan provinces."

Yang Guanxian raised his eyebrows: "That's right, Zhang Linghui killed Jiannan and Lingnan Jiedu envoy Qin Xing when Song Zhiyi rebelled against the banner back then, and took refuge in Song Zhiyi. Jiannan Road and Lingnan Road are also the Song surnames of the Daping Dynasty."

"If you were Song Zhiyi, would you like to swallow the Jiangnan Road in the middle and open up the north and south sides? If you were Zhuang Mengyao, are you afraid that Song Zhiyi will put the butcher's knife on your neck sooner or later?"

Yang Guanxian said: "Yes, Zhuang Mengyao has been afraid of this all along!"

Moreover, the Jiangnan barracks has always been disunity, and it has been in a centrifugal state from beginning to end.

At that time, there were seven barracks in the south of the Yangtze River. Due to the change of the military system, these seven barracks were merged into the Jiangnan barracks.

Zhuang Mengyao died suddenly of a serious illness because of Li Zhixi, so he took over from a Zhonglang general to become the general of the Jiangnan barracks.

In order to consolidate their position, the other party fought against dissidents, eliminated dissidents, and almost "liquidated" the non-commissioned officers of the remaining seven barracks.

Shen Shuangcheng was the deputy general of Jiangnan Cunzhengying back then. If his mother Cui Shi hadn't forced him to go back to marry Guo Hanyue with death, then he would most likely be "liquidated" by Zhuang Mengyao.

As for Zhuang Mengyao, he achieved his goal of consolidating his position on the surface, but he also left a fine tradition for the Jiangnan barracks, that is, internal fighting.

Also because of internal strife, although Jiangnan has money, his military strength has not been able to do so.

In these years, Jin Hongkang, Nie Huimo, Li Xiao, etc. have led troops to swagger through the territory of Jiangnan Road more than once. Zhuang Mengyao was so angry that he didn't stop fighting if he could.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "So, you know why Zhuang Mengyao cares about Li Gan so much, right?"

Yang Guanxian nodded: "Well, Li Gan and Song Zhiyi are at odds with each other. With Li Gan by his side, the Daping Dynasty will be restrained, and will not easily go south to outflank Jiangnan Road. Miss Ali, I understand what you mean, Zhuang Mengyao I will definitely try my best to form an alliance with us!"

"No knot." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Yang Guanxian looked at the girl's smile and nodded: "Okay! No knot!"

Xia Zhaoyi got up: "It's getting late, I have to go to rest, you take good care of your wounds, recover your complexion as soon as possible, and wait for revenge."

Yang Guanxian said gratefully: "Before I was in exile, I just wanted to survive, and I cursed and cursed Zhuang Mengyao every day. I dare not think of revenge. Thank you, Madam, for giving me this opportunity to avenge my pride!!"

Xia Zhaoyi was about to leave, paused, looked back at Yang Guanxian, and said seriously: "It is better to thank yourself than to thank me. Not everyone can easily stand where you are standing at this time. This opportunity is yours. You deserve it."

Tears welled up in Yang Guanxian's eyes: "Yes, big lady!"

Xia Zhaoyi nodded slightly, turned and left.

Shopkeeper Hu sighed: "Dadong's family is really nice, but why do you call her Da Niangzi?"

Yang Guanxian wept and said: "Whatever you want to call it, it's really great to have a big lady in this world!"
