Chapter 278: The Beginning of the Trivial Matter Under the Iron Curtain

After the incident of Sijizhai this night, Lou Shuwan did not take the initiative to find Ning Yi again, and the words that 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 excellent man she knew around her, and she even had a feeling that others didn't know him, only she knew the way, but suddenly she found that she was greatly underestimating the other party, and what the man named Ning Yi was in contact with was actually not a field that she could reach at all. This feeling is also the first time she has experienced it.

Being able to face Shi Bao and the others in Taiping Lane with the strength of one person without falling behind, and using thousands of routs to turn things around while fleeing all the way, if such a person is put on the table, it is difficult for Lou Shuwan to make a position. Of course, intellectually speaking, if she can calm down and be objective, she actually agrees with her brother's statement, manpower is sometimes poor, he is a hero, in fact, he is also pushed by the times, there are rumors about Ning Yi, what is the reason behind it, it is difficult to say clearly, in any case, when he can't take advantage of the situation, the situation of Sijizhai is indeed an insoluble dead end.

I, or the eldest brother, seem to be unable to solve the problem, maybe in his opinion, it will be an easy thing to turn the tables with a raise of his hand - such a mood, for Lou Shuwan, who still retains a trace of calm, even if it will rise, then it will be pressed into the corner of her heart.

What happened in the city this night was big and small, and even when she returned home, Lou Shuwan, who couldn't sleep, could hear occasional messages coming from the maid's movements. For the various turmoil that occurred in the city at this time, the Lou family, who had not been attached for a long time, would inevitably be the most sensitive group of people, but the information about the Four Seasons was naturally not among them until the next morning. In the white mist that filled the four directions, some news could be heard from the whispers of Wei Lingxue and the others.

Since she was picked up by her brother, Ning Yi and her companions faced Li Tianyou's aggressiveness, and they did not retreat, and the scholar named Ning Yi killed the opponent on the spot in a one-on-one duel - when she learned about this from Wei Lingxue, Qin Gulai and others who deliberately wanted to make up for the relationship, her heart was really messy to the extent of no return.

In this way, what kind of person is Su Tan'er's husband-in-law......

I thought I had seen the figure clearly. At this point, it was finally blurred. In fact, Wei Lingxue and Qin Gulai did not take the initiative to inquire about Ning Yi's news, this news actually came from the mouth of the eldest brother's subordinates, indicating that the eldest brother was 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 gotten up to do things, and a few stewards listened to the words in the study. The two maids beside the sister-in-law walked under the eaves with a wooden basin filled with hot water. Lou Shuwang was dealing with the matter reported by his entourage, probably just washed his face and glanced up at her.

“…… Since he has a relationship with the Qi family, he had to resign first, and the matter must be clear...... Let's do it according to the rules, the account room will pay twenty taels ......" While saying, Lou Shuwang lowered his head and wrote a note, and when the next person took the note and left, he left the desk, and gently pinched the palm of his left hand with his right hand. said, "Up? Li Tianyan came back this morning, the situation is going to be tense for a while, you have to be mentally prepared, plus these things of the Qi family, some people who shouldn't come and go don't come anymore. ”

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

Lou Shuwang was not surprised, nodded, reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose: "Hmm." I didn't sleep either, and my father was probably busy all night, and your second brother didn't return all night...... It was the criminal Fang Zhong who stayed overnight, but it was not a big deal. ..., this may be a casual speech, but Lou Shuwan didn't think about what to say when she came over, and sat down on the chair next to her at this time, looking at the eldest brother who was silent for a moment: "He's still alive." ”

"I know. I've heard about it. Lou Shuwang's tone was not strange, for him, this was not a big deal after all. The Lou family now has a close relationship with the Fang La court, maintaining the operation of Hangzhou, which can be called deep-rooted and multiplying, he deals with countless big and small things every day, there is nothing more about Ning Liheng, it is nothing more than some jealousy of his younger brothers and sisters, it is related to a man who seems to be quite outstanding, he is looking down on this matter from the perspective of the superior, even if some details are wrong, there is no need to make a fuss.

Forced by the situation, Li Tianyou had to agree to fight with him alone, and a master by Li Tianyou's side played the battle...... In that case, he can still fight his way, Ning Yi is not simple. I also heard that someone from the Badao Battalion came forward. But...... After your second brother returns, it will be time to know his whereabouts. ”

“…… Big brother, you can't say it's simple, do you have to let the second brother get on the bar with him? ”。

"I'm not involved, it's your second brother's business. There are many people who are not simple, and now in Hangzhou, walking on the street with a knife, you can find eight out of ten that are not simple, even if it is two of you, there are also things that are against the crowd...... It depends on where you put them...... I already told you last night, forget it, Shu Wan, don't think about it anymore, if you continue to think about it, it's no good, and then it's not just your second brother, as soon as Li Tianyan comes back, none of their brothers can afford to mess with them......"

What the eldest brother said is right. Lou Shuwan couldn't summarize her emotions towards Ning Yi for a while, sometimes feeling close and sometimes feeling far away, and even the idea that the two might be together not long ago also changed, sometimes full and sometimes empty in her heart. But in a short period of time, after all, I couldn't take the initiative to find him. After Li Tianyan returned to the city, the situation in Hangzhou became fierce again, and a large-scale liquidation and search for the Zhao'an faction inclined to the imperial court began, and at the same time, he was also arresting the meticulous work arranged by the imperial court in the rebel army. Tong Guan's pressure to the south is not far from the north, which is to prepare for the next defense of the city.

Although this matter could not easily affect the Lou family, as a woman, in the following days, Lou Shuwan no longer went out, and only dealt with some things at hand at home. But in fact, the shadow of war and the pressure of the outside world have shrouded in people, and the circulation of various materials on the market has become more rigid, and everything is just maintained step by step, but there is not much room for operation. And the matter of showing up is more on the heads of the men in the family. She began to become more and more idle, and on such days, she occasionally watched the dead leaves fall in the yard, and wondered how Ning Yi lived her life now.

Ning Yi is actually quite idle.

After the Four Seasons affair is over, there is not much follow-up for the time being. He was injured, and while he was recuperating, classes at the Wenli College were suspended, allowing him to relax for a few days. Li Tianyan's return to the city was originally mentally prepared. It won't have too much impact on the side of the Badao Battalion, and the only thing that will be affected may be the soaring prices in the atmosphere of slaughter in the city.

At this time, the autumn grain harvest has been completed, and even though this year has experienced war, it is also the most abundant time of the year. However, at this time, these grains have been divided among various forces, and at this moment when the shadow of war is about to fall, there are fewer and fewer of them that will be released to the outside world. There will be at least all kinds of food storage subsidies in the Badao Battalion, which will not have too much impact on everyone's lives in the short term. But outside of these circles, life gets harder.

Ning Yi's deeds of killing Tang Kou in Four Seasons Zhai formed a topic in a small area of Xiliu Street in a short period of time. But what is even more talked-about is the deeds of Liu Dabiao who fought alone on that day. If you don't know the inside story, you can only hear that Liu Dabiao defeated Qi Yuankang, and then resisted the three brothers of the Qi family who came to take revenge with the rules of the rivers and lakes, and won a big victory, it is said that this Liu Dabiao is a hero with a chest hair, and his waist is eight feet ........., and for people who really know the inside story, Liu Watermelon does these things as a woman, which is undoubtedly amazing. The rebellion regarding Qi Yuankang could have been done only after Li Tianyan returned to the city, but the always low-key Badao Battalion, together with the rest of his own side, launched it in advance, mainly to show his strength before Li Tianyan returned. But after this action. There was another unexpected consequence, which quietly emerged in the following days.

That Liu watermelon, it's time to get married......

No one said this sentence clearly, but rumors such as "Lou Jingzhi is going to propose marriage to Liu Xigua" and "Lou Jingzhi has a personal affair with Liu Xigua" began to emerge among the high-level of the Fangla military department again, although it was only spread by word of mouth at a very high level, but soon after, there were obviously more young talents who were sent to contact and do things on the side of the Badao Battalion, and most of these people were the sons and nephews of high-level people in the DPRK. They were suspicious of the ambiguity between Liu Watermelon and Lou Jingzhi, but Liu Watermelon really should get married, but it seemed to have become everyone's consensus, so they all wanted to try their luck.

Liu Watermelon was recuperating in the inner courtyard and did not see anyone. Under the cover of the chief manager Liu Tiannan, he didn't know that the outside of the road had become so disgusting, if he knew the road. It is necessary to chop Lou Jingzhi with 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 asks, at most he says "you don't care". This time, Lou Minzhong preconceived that there was a drama, and I am afraid that he was already thinking about proposing marriage.

The girl's heart may have been preparing for a change, or she may have made up her mind, but there is still no action at the moment, after all, the matter is too big, and it needs more deliberation and more weighing to make sure that the blood at this moment will not be without the slightest value.

Ning Yi went to see her twice, and neither of them mentioned it about it. His injuries were not serious, he was much faster than Liu Watermelon, and after two or three days, there was no hindrance to his body. At this time, the large-scale search that began after Li Tianyan returned to the city was already in an uproar in the city, and Ning Yi was already making preparations, waiting for the arrival of the Li family's big report, but before that, there were other things that broke out unexpectedly.

In the early hours of the morning, before dawn, a quick knock on the door sounded outside the courtyard, Ning Yi got up and opened the door, and it was a student from the academy who appeared outside the door. This young man's name is Zhuo Xiaofeng, and he is not a student directly taught by Ning Yi, he belongs to a member of the camp that was originally hostile to Ning Yi. The boy's father was a member of the staff of Fang Lajun, and he was 14 years old and intelligent, and he was also regarded as a wise man among those children.

The other party originally had a tense attitude every time he saw Ning Yi, but when he appeared outside the door at this time, he was out of breath and looked anxious, and Ning Yi's first reaction was that the Zhuo family was affected by the turmoil of this purge and was raided. He saw that there were no pursuers outside the door, and hurriedly pulled people in, but after some inquiry, he realized that Lu Dao had been fighting openly and secretly inside and outside the academy for a few days when he had not gone to the academy for classes. It's certainly a good thing to be a good guy and catch a bad guy, but this time, they finally met an existence they couldn't provoke.........
