Chapter 529 I don't like to make troubles (Part [-])
Steward Chu basically told Xia Zhaoyi what he knew.

Zhi Changle held up five fingers: "Really, did you really take someone's 5 million taels?"

"It is said that they sold all their Zhuangzi, and also sold all their branches." Chu Guanshi said, "But it is only 5 million taels. I think when our Zhuangzi first came to the capital, we had more than this. number."

When Zhao Ning first came to the capital to spread money widely, it was a proper posture of being rich and invincible.

5 million taels is a sky-high price for ordinary people, but for a position that can directly surpass so many big merchants and rich men in the capital, secure the status of the gods in the capital, and make so many people pay attention to her, 5 million taels is really not enough.

"Maybe there is her husband's family," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Let's not care about these things. There is such a noise inside, do you need us to help?"

"There are still two thugs inside, so I'm not afraid," said Guanshi Chu, "Miss Ali, where did you go?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "Look for relatives."

Zhao Hui and the others quarreled for a long time, and finally left upstairs.

Xia Zhaoyi had already gone back downstairs, but instead of entering the house, he stood in the backyard and looked at the Dingguo Mansion on the opposite side.

The bitter cold wind came in gusts and patted her body, and there was a quiet plum fragrance under her nose.

Zhao Hui didn't scold when she got down, but her footsteps were loud and her face was gloomy.

Everyone left, and after a while, Zhao Ning also came down.

Zhao Ning didn't go to the front hall, but came to the backyard. Seeing Xia Zhaoyi from afar, Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Ali."

Xia Zhaoyi turned around and smiled, "Zhao Ning."

He briefly asked where Xia Zhaoyi had been recently. Although Xia Zhaoyi didn't ask about the movement upstairs, Zhao Ning took the initiative to mention it.

"They came early," Zhao Ning said with a smile, "just the day before they came to the capital, the emperor left the capital and there was great chaos in the city. They traveled so far, unwilling to go back, so they stayed in the outer city. Finally came in, finally saw me."

"How are you going to deal with it?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

"My mother's dowry in the Zhao family is more than 5 million taels," Zhao Ning said, looking towards the Dingguo mansion in front, "I wanted to drive them away, but they explicitly hinted that they kept thinking about my early hoarding." I’m quite interested in the grains that I’m eating.”

Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

Manager Chu on the side breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that the boss took back the money that I deserved. I was so scared that I really thought it was ill-gotten gains."

"So what about ill-gotten gains?" Zhao Ning looked at him, "Is it that important?"

Manager Chu was at a loss for words, he wanted to say yes, but he didn't want to contradict his boss.

"A Li," Zhao Ning looked back at Xia Zhaoyi, "What are your plans for the next step?"

"What about you?" Xia Zhaoyi asked back, "The capital is in such a mess, don't you plan to leave?"

"Of course I have to leave," Zhao Ning smiled, "It's just that I haven't decided who to take refuge with."

"Trust me?"

"That's right," Zhao Ning said, "Song Zhiyi, King Dacheng, Yannan Army, Hengpingjun, Jiangnan Barracks, Dasu Army... We really can't choose, and no one knows who will win and who will lose in the end. If it weren't for my age Gao, I don’t like to make troubles, maybe I will recruit soldiers and buy horses myself, and I will become king myself.”

Saying that, Zhao Ning laughed again.

Steward Chu was listening and wondering.

I don't like to make troubles, I am afraid that besides the girl Ali next to me in the whole capital, the second woman who can make troubles is my boss.

They chatted for a while, and Xia Zhaoyi was tired from the journey, so he went back to sleep.

After waking up at night, Zhao Ning asked someone to burn a large pot of hot water in the backyard. After Xia Zhaoyi took a bath, he ate something and went back to sleep.

At Sishi the next day, Xia Zhaoyi took Zhi Changle to Jingzhao Mansion, but Old Tong was still complaining about his stomach, so he stayed.

The entire Jingzhao Mansion was still in chaos, and there were people everywhere, many people who came to inquire about the news, surrounded by three circles inside and three circles outside.

The patrolling guards of the Beifu soldiers had just passed by, leaving an open space in front of Jingzhao Mansion. Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle rode on horses, watching them from a distance, and detoured to the other side.

"I can't say who is pitiful," Zhi Changle said, "these people are pitiful, but those refugees outside the city are also ordinary people. I couldn't sleep last night, so I got up to chat with the guys in the store. I heard that those refugees turned over Guangqumen, they are almost killed all the way to Zhengyang Road, many people have died, and those corpses have not been cleaned up yet."

Xia Zhaoyi closed his eyes, looked down at the reins in front of him, not knowing what to say.

"It's the common people who suffer." Zhi Changle sighed.

Xia Zhaoyi nodded, but remained silent.

When he reached the side door, he saw a tall figure standing outside the back door.

Song Qingtang turned his head and saw them too, grinning brightly.

"Ali!" Song Qingtang shouted, striding forward.

When he got close, he raised his hand to hold Xia Zhaoyi's mount, as if to help the girl off the horse.

Xia Zhaoyi was helped down by him, and looked at him strangely.

"Where did you sleep last night?" Song Qingtang asked while leading the horse.

"Bed." Xia Zhaoyi replied, and walked inside.

"It's fine if it's not the land! Hehe!" Song Qingtang said, while throwing the reins to a guard at the door, making him watchful.

Song Qingtang caught up: "Are you looking for Master Zhu?"

At this moment, even Zhi Changle looked at him with strange eyes: "Are you really General Song Lang?"

"Yes." Song Qingtang looked at him.

Zhi Changle nodded and said nothing.

Like yesterday, Xia Zhaoyi did not go directly to Zhu Xian, but went to the small courtyard next door, and sat down on a step outside the courtyard.

Song Qingtang didn't stay long, and went to the compound next door to check on the situation.

At this time, the door behind Xia Zhaoyi opened, and Jiang Silu came out with a lot of books in his hands. Seeing Xia Zhaoyi, Jiang Silu frowned and cursed: "Where did you come from, boy, get out of the way!"

While Xia Zhaoyi turned his head, he stood up and stepped aside.

Jiang Silu left quickly with a few staff members.

Zhi Changle sat down beside Xia Zhaoyi, muttering and cursing: "This is too fierce, who is it!"

"Those who can still work in the middle of the capital are responsible and good people," Xia Zhaoyi said.

Zhi Changle smiled, pursed his lips and nodded: "That's right, A Li is right."

Song Qingtang went away for a long time, and finally came back, no longer excited before, Su Rong said: "Lord Zhu and my father have been sent an imperial edict again."

"Imperial decree?" Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Well, call us to Hejing," Song Qingtang sat down beside him, and said, "But we can't go, the news I received in the morning said that those refugees attacked Anhe official road and were going along Anhe official road to Hejing Go, even if we want to go to Hejing, we can’t go.”

Xia Zhaoyi didn't speak, and folded his hands on his knees, looking at the white clouds in the distance.

"Tiancheng camp is leaving," Song Qingtang said again, "if the refugees invaded before, if the Tiancheng camp hadn't arrived in time, the number of casualties would be far more than a thousand, but Zheng Guogong said that he couldn't hold on, so he had to Take them away, and General Zhao Zi will also leave Peifeng, and they will return to Zhengbei."
