Xia Jing listened for a while and then fell asleep on the table.
When I woke up, the stage had already dispersed and most of the guests in the lobby had left.
"Let's go, go back."
Originally, they were not allowed to leave the neighborhood after the curfew, so Xue Renli and Xiao Jida planned to stay overnight, but with Ning Shouxu, they were able to return to the Xue family without any obstruction.
Xia Jing begged and persuaded Xiao Jida to sleep in the same room.
He placed the dream catcher next to his pillow, waited until Xiao Jida fell asleep, then got up quietly and hid the recruitment order in the cabinet.
Early the next morning, Ning Shouxu instructed Nanny Yuan to get Xia Jing up and go back to the palace.
Xia Jing was half asleep and half awake the whole time. He only woke up after arriving at Jingyixuan and rolling around in Xiao Yue's arms.
After washing his face and eating some cakes, he went into the inner room to take stock of his harvest.
[Name: Xue Renli]
【Age: 18】
[Identity: The eldest son of the Xue family in the capital]
[Intimacy: 51 → 60]
Xue Renli is just a bonus, and having an intimacy level of 60 is already pretty good.
He looked at Xiao Jida again.
[Name: Xiao Jida]
【Age: 24】
[Identity: The eldest son of the Xiao family in Nankang City]
Compassion: 81 → 87
When he reached level 87, he was the number one person after Yi Qiu.
Finally, he held up the dreamcatcher.
The dream catcher holds dream beads, and one is restored every month. I have used it twice before and it is not fully replenished yet. Fortunately, there are three beads at the beginning.
Xia Jing found Xiao Jida's dream and pointed it out with a feather pendant.
A damp and cold breath followed the feathers and penetrated into Xia Jing's fingertips.
Suddenly, a black cloth covered my eyes, and I couldn't see my hand in front of me. Something cold and hard like hail was hitting my head and clothes. My body was tilted and I staggered.
I wiped my face to warm my frozen skin, and felt the touch of flowing water, only then did I realize that it was not hail, but rain.
Xiao Jida's rough voice echoed through the rain, and a moment later, three responses came in. They laughed together, holding hands, and climbed upwards.
After an unknown amount of time, three figures broke through the rain curtain, broke through the dark clouds, and came to the top of the mountain under the sun.
It turned out that he was climbing a mountain.
Xia Jing saw the faces of the three people clearly. They were Xiao Jida, Xue Renli and - Ning Shouxu?
Ning Shouxu stood upside down, using his hands as legs.
Very strange, watch it again.
Xia Jing was in a subtle mood. As expected, even a rough man like Xiao Jida would have some strange dreams.
He thought about how to modify this dream.
First, the needs must be made clear. Xiao Jida must be told about the rebellion and be guided to lead the troops to suppress it.
Chapter 72 Yuzhou rebelled again!
Secondly, Xiao Jida must be made to believe this information.
Finally, some room for maneuver must be left to pave the way for possible dreams in the future.
Xia Jing quickly finalized the plan, closed his eyes, and made quick revisions.
After making the changes, Xia Jing crushed the beads. When Xiao Jida fell asleep again, the modified dream would enter his mind.
Xia Jing was looking forward to it.
"Brother Jing!" Ning Xuenian's voice came from outside the window.
The girl ran into the house, grabbed Xia Jing's hand, and asked anxiously, "Where did you go yesterday? Why couldn't I find you? Madam Xiao said she sent you out on some business."
Xia Jing hesitated, feeling very embarrassed: "Third brother said not to tell anyone."
"It turned out to be him. I went to Yanghexuan yesterday, and there was no one there!" Ning Xuenian puffed up her face, very angry.
Qi Ning Shouxu kidnapped her younger brother Jing and forbade her younger brother Jing to tell her.
"Don't be angry, sister." Xia Jing touched her face and leaned close to her ear. "I'll tell you secretly, sister. Don't tell Third Brother."
Ning Xuenian was so moved that she almost melted. Brother Jing is so nice, and Ning Shouxu is so bad!
"What! You can actually get out!"
After hearing what Xia Jing said, Ning Xuenian was extremely envious.
"What's it like outside?" she asked in a low voice.
The two children hid in the corner and whispered to each other.
……
Another night, Xiao Jida did not go to the pleasure boat, but went to a farm outside the city, where he got drunk with Xue Renli's friends.
The next afternoon, he woke up, sat on the edge of the bed, and banged his head hard.
He had a strange dream in which he saw Ning Shouxu walking upside down.
To be honest, it's a bit scary.
He, Xue Renli and Ning Shouxu climbed the mountain together in the rain. Then, the sky was brightly lit and white lotuses bloomed on the ground. He closed his eyes and opened them again, but Xue Renli and Ning Shouxu were gone.
In the sky, the clouds rolled and gathered into a huge human face.
A sound like a huge bell rang on the top of the mountain.
"Hey, why are you here?" Big Face asked in surprise.
"Please give me some advice, God!" He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yun Lian.
He has never believed in ghosts and gods, but seeing such a huge human face and such a spectacular sight, he would be a fool not to believe it!
"Strange, strange, you should be in Nankang City, not in the capital!"
"I was summoned here by my sister's letter. I wonder what the consequences will be if I change places?"
"It had a huge impact. A few months later, refugees outside Nankang City rebelled with great force, laying siege to the city. The prefect fled in panic. You posted notices, gathered thousands of soldiers, and crushed the enemy, suppressing the rebellion."
He was shocked. His first reaction was that he was so powerful. His second reaction was that he was not in Nankang City now. What should he do? If he left, wouldn't he harm the people in Nankang City?
He kowtowed to Big Face again and said, "I wonder if I can go back now?"
"It's already disconnected. It wouldn't be good to reconnect it." Big Face pondered for a moment. "I left a military order for you in the Xue family's room. Remember to take it. Your sister asked Concubine Xian to ask for an official position in the Ministry of Revenue for you. Don't linger and return quickly."
The clouds that made up the big face rolled up again, the white clouds turned into dark clouds, and lightning flashed.
"When you have time, you can investigate again to find out who led you to the capital. Only those who are destined by heaven can change destiny."
After he kowtowed, he woke up.
"Brother Jida, what's wrong with you?" Xue Renli brought a cup of tea and asked with concern.
"I had a strange dream." Xiao Jida thanked him and drank the tea.
In his dream, he believed in the big face completely, but when he woke up, he certainly didn't take it seriously.
How can dreams count? He even dreamed that his sister became the emperor!
After playing in the villa for another day, he returned to the Xue family residence. He suddenly recalled the dream and rummaged around the house.
Finally he turned to the head of the bed, opened the cabinet, and was stunned.
A copper token was placed in the corner of the cabinet.
He took two steps back and covered his head.
"Nankang City, rebellion, general's order..." he murmured.
Could it be that there really are immortals in this world?
He was eager to verify the facts, so he found Xue Renli and asked Empress Xian whether she was prepared to arrange an official position in the Ministry of Revenue for him.
Xue Renli went out to investigate and came back to tell Xiao Jida that it was indeed the case.
Xiao Jida sat by the bed, stunned all night.
Early in the morning, he said goodbye to Xue Renli.
……
"Why did he go back?" Concubine Xian held Xiao Yue's hand and asked in confusion.
"I don't know either. The letter he left behind only said that he had something to do. He would come back a year later." Xiao Yue was also confused.
She looked guilty and said, "Sorry to bother you, sister. I wrote a letter to my parents yesterday and I will definitely scold him!"
"Nothing, a year from now will be just right." Concubine Xian smiled, "But my brother's child is so fond of his character and can't bear to leave him. He's lost at home and won't leave the house."
Xiao Yue hurriedly expressed her apologies.
After hearing this, Xia Jing jumped off Concubine Xian's lap. This side was successfully completed, and all that was left was to wait.
There are about two or three months left.
The rebel army composed of refugees is just loud but has very poor combat effectiveness and cohesion. As long as there is a regular army and a reliable general, it will not be a problem to defeat them.
Even if an accident happens, the 3,000 soldiers recruited by the recruitment order can protect themselves.
However, since this was not part of the game's plot, Xia Jing was still a little nervous.
He went to Fangcuizhai again, and after a bit of cuteness, he got Concubine Yi's token, a jade pendant engraved with the Yi family crest.
He acted coquettishly to Xiao Yue again, and Yi Qiu wrote a letter to Xiao Jida, which he dictated.
In the letter, he mentioned the relationship between Xiao Yue and Yi Jieyu, and the relationship between Yi Jieyu and Lanpin, and said that he had obtained a jade pendant from Yi Jieyu. When the letter was sent out, he ordered General Mei to secretly slip the jade pendant into the letter.
Nankang City is in Yuzhou. Many people in Yuzhou were promoted by Lanpin's grandfather. Xia Jing hoped that this jade pendant could help Xiao Jida clear some obstacles.
Waiting is always tormenting, but fortunately Xia Jing has long been accustomed to it, and he is very busy and has no time to think about anything else.
After the Winter Plum Blossom Banquet, the eldest princess's marriage should have been settled, but Ning Wanjun was fond of his royal brother Xia Jing, so he stayed for a while longer.
The matter of Concubine Lan was finally settled. When Concubine Duan came to her senses, she discovered that Concubine Xian had stolen her away from her and she was so angry that she actually fell ill.
Concubine Rou has been very quiet recently. I don’t know if it’s because the New Year is approaching, or because of Concubine Lan’s matter, or maybe she wants to wait for Ning Wanjun to get married.
During the New Year, the palace is decorated with lights and colors to celebrate the renewal of everything.
As the snow fell, Xu Zhongde congratulated Emperor Kangning in the name of "auspicious snow". Emperor Kangning was overjoyed and rewarded his harem.
Just when I was overjoyed, bad news came.
Yuzhou, which had just been pacified not long ago, was in chaos again!
At the New Year's family dinner, Xia Jing watched Emperor Kangning smash the table with a punch and kick over a chair. He left the Qianqing Palace angrily and eagerly to discuss matters with the court officials.
He prayed for Xiao Jida. His and Xiao Yue's future, the rise and fall of the Ning Dynasty, all depended on Xiao Jida!
Chapter 73 Quelling the Rebellion!
Even colder than the bitter winter air is Emperor Kangning's anger.
Even the most heartless, playful and unbridled concubine had to hold back and stay quietly in her own palace.
News of the Yuzhou rebellion spread quickly. Two years prior, in the summer, Yuzhou had experienced a rebellion. The imperial court, with the assistance of the imperial guards and the troops stationed in the northern border, won two victories, quelling the rebels' arrogance and bringing their leader to justice.
Two years later, the rebellion has resurfaced, and the situation is even more severe than before. The last rebellion was in the summer, and there was basically no need to worry about the Xiongnu threat. But now it is winter, the Beihe River is frozen, and it is the perfect time for the Xiongnu to plunder!
The local noble families in Yuzhou had always been at odds with the imperial court. Two years ago, the imperial court made some concessions, and its control over Yuzhou became even weaker than before!
As one side grows stronger, the other side declines, and the crisis becomes even more serious! Emperor Kangning cannot help but be angry.
