Chapter 369
Fu Xianglian grabbed Zhang Xing's hand, shook her head and said, "It's not like this, I already knew about it." Wei Yan next door to my house, do you remember? I heard that the last time you came to Yuxian, she also talked to you. She had a nest of pigeons at home, which she used to deliver the message. A few days ago, there was an accident in Gangneung, and her second brother was trapped in the city, so he relied on this to spread messages with his family. Just now, she received a letter from her second brother at home, saying that there was trouble in Gangneung again. ”
Zhang Xing patted Fu Xianglian's hand and said with a smile: "What is written in the Wei family's letter? Have you seen it clearly? Jiangling is occupied by the Red Lotus Sect, and it is not peaceful in the first place, and it is common to fight and kill in the city. The second brother of the Wei family must have said this in his letter. Don't worry, Gangneung is still far away from Yuxian, and things won't come to this side. ”
Fu Xianglian really only listened to half of it, and then ran back in a panic. Zhang Xing persuaded again, she had just come from Jiangling, if something really happened in Jiangling, she couldn't not know anything about it. Fu Xianglian was skeptical after all. Zhang Xing smiled again and asked Gu Yu to call, and in front of Fu Xianglian, asked him to inquire on the street. Behind his back, he gave Sun Baozhu a look.
Sun Baozhu quietly withdrew, quickly caught up with Gu Yu, and compared to him. Tell him that no matter what he asks, he is not allowed to spit out bad news when he replies later.
Gu Yu walked around the street, and when he came back, the reply was really empty.
Fu Xianglian was relieved.
Gu Yu quietly told Zhang Xing that Jiangling was only afraid that there would be a real fight. Zhang Xing already knew about this matter, and told Gu Yu not to talk about it at home.
In the evening, Wei Minwen came. Zhang Xing looked at his face. knew that he probably knew the news of the fight on the Gangneung side. Yu County is a large county in the Jianghuai area. Businessmen gathered. There are always channels that can be the first to know about the big things happening around them. However, Wei Minwen didn't say anything in front of Fu Xianglian.
Fu Xianglian has a poor appetite, and Aunt Fu plans to keep her at home for a few more days. Zhang Xing didn't stay in the Fu family for a long time, so he was sent home by Wei Minwen.
Along the way, Wei Minwen was uneasy. Zhang Xing only thought that she didn't see it. When he was approaching the door, Wei Minwen couldn't help but ask, "When will the stone come to Yuxian?"
Zhang Xing replied: "Just these two days." ”
Wei Minwen was silent again, and his slightly furrowed brow still revealed his worries. He sent Zhang Xing to the Wei family, and then frowned and confessed: "It's not peaceful anywhere now. You also have to go out less. ”
Zhang Xing should come down. The Wei family is still harmonious, Zhang Jinbao has not returned home when he went out to visit friends, Wei Yunhai is thinking about his field in Weijiazhuang, thinking about when he will be able to return home. Ye Hexiang picked a good brocade from his own cloth village, and was preparing to call the master of the Qiaoshou Pavilion to his home tomorrow. When she saw Zhang Xing returning home, she immediately pulled her and asked Zhang Xing to help sum up what to do.
Zhang Xing had something in her heart, and followed Ye Hexiang's words perfunctorily. Who knew that Ye Hexiang was unhappy and said, "You really don't have any insight at all." I think it's better to make a skirt a skirt! A few days ago, I saw a lady in Liu Ji's jewelry shop with her two daughters wearing a skirt similar to this material, and that's what it looks like. ”
Zhang Xing then closed her mouth. She stopped talking. Ye Hexiang was even more unpleasant, and waved her hand away: "It's just to let you accompany your mother to see the material, you don't want to." Okay, okay, go, go, that's it now, can I count on you in the future? ”
Zhang Xing came out. After Ye Hexiang compared by herself, she looked at the red and green in the room, and suddenly lost interest.
In the middle of the night, the wind was strong, and there were branches banging on the windows, crackling from time to time. Zhang Xing couldn't sleep in the first place, and now she didn't feel sleepy at all. She didn't want to alarm others, so she opened her eyes and watched the shadows outside the window in the faint light.
Time passed silently, and it was dawn. The night was windy, and the courtyard was full of messes. Zhang Xing knew that it was useless to worry, she still had a great god to serve here. So he called Gu Yu over, explained it carefully, and sent him to serve Jin Yao in the front yard.
Jin Yao didn't see anything unusual, most of them were idle on the street, sitting in the teahouse, never causing trouble, and never seeing anyone deliberately befriended.
Gu Yu came over to talk back every day, with a stomach full of doubts in his heart.
Another day passed, and the news of Gangneung's change of the sky finally came to light. The Yuxian Patrol Battalion united with the patrolmen of Tongxian and Jinju counties to recapture Gangneung Fortress five days after the Red Lotus Sect occupied Gangneung. There are rumors about the details of this matter, some say that the former leader of the Jiangling patrol battalion invited the people of the three counties to dispatch, and then echoed inside and outside to take Jiangling in one fell swoop, and it is also said that it is not only the people of the three county patrol battalions who encircle and suppress the Red Lotus Sect, but also the people of the Huainan General Battalion. Otherwise, only the original leader of the Gangneung patrol battalion would not move the patrol battalions of these three counties to join forces.
Under the different opinions, no one knows whether it is true or false, however, in the eyes of most people in Yuxian, this is a good thing after all.
Even Wei Yunhai knew about such a big thing, so he hurriedly found Wei Minwen and asked him to hurry up and inquire about the news of the stone. He also cautiously instructed Gu Yu and the others not to let them talk about this in the inner courtyard.
Under the influence of war, personal life and death are really unpredictable.
Gu Yu replied. As soon as he turned around, he still passed on the matter to Zhang Xingting.
The family had the heart not to worry about her, Zhang Xing simply pretended not to know, anyway, it won't be long before the stone will come back.
Wei Minwen also took Fu Xianglian home.
At noon the next day, Shi arrived in Yu County, and after talking to Wei Yunhai and Wei Minwen, he saw Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing saw that his face was a little pale, and hurriedly asked Sun Baozhu to fetch water. Shi took off his coat, and Zhang Xing really found that he had a thick cloth wrapped around his arm. She always had the wound medicine on hand, and she turned it out immediately.
Shi Hehe smiled and said, "Just this little injury, it will be healed in two days." ”
Zhang Xing ignored him, and only meticulously untied the wrapping cloth on his arm. The wound seemed to be a knife cut, more than a finger long, and the wound was piled with black herbs, and I don't know how deep it was.
"That Red Lotus Sect Master does have some ability, knowing that the enemy is not good, he actually plays tricks to death, if I hadn't kicked him in the past, Xu would have been really fooled by him. "Stone beats a little ruffian, and grew up in a bandit den, never talking about solar terms, for him, the outcome of the matter is the most important, as for what tricks to play in the middle, all can be ignored.
Zhang Xing crossed him, and said with a straight face: "Sit down! Since you think that he will cheat, why do you want to go up and take risks?"
Shi He smiled, not only could not see the pain on his black face, but also seemed to be faintly happy, sat up straight, and said: "Xing'er, the shopkeeper of your shop, I found it for you, and the person is still alive." He was seriously injured, and I couldn't bring people here, so I stayed in Gangneung. ”
Zhang Xing cleaned the wound on the stone arm, and saw that the tendons and pith could be faintly seen in the depths of the red flesh, and knew that the wound was not far from the bone. He must be used to it if he doesn't care like this. The stone is many times more difficult in the northwest than she doesn't know here, and on the one hand, she has to let Shen Huaijin see him, and on the other hand, she has to prevent them from killing people and killing people. The Shen family's nest is not a group of harmony. He survives in the cracks, and every point must be taken care of, not too much, not too soft, too weak.
He is in the northwest border, and the battles are as frequent as eating, and life and death may be in the blink of an eye.
"Xing'er, you still don't want to open the shop in Jiangling anymore. Stone said.
Zhang Xing's subordinates were stunned, although she had the majority of the rice shop on hand, the main profit was still in Jiangling, especially the jade and business names, which were almost profitable. With the transportation line of the Southwest Horse Gang, the shops on the Gangneung side are almost sure to make a profit. However, although the rice shop in Yuxian County has a large stock and high grain prices, she cannot buy and sell it on a large scale -- the northwest side has to keep a large amount of money in advance.
Moreover, even if the Shen family paid for Zhangji's grain, it would definitely not be higher than the market price.
If the shop in Jiangling can't be opened, maybe even the turnover of the rice grain shop here in Yuxian County will be implicated.
The peach blossom flood in May every year is coming. The people here in Jianghuai not only rely on the Huai River around them to survive, but also suffer from it. Although the rain this year is not big, but the water level of the Huai River is not low, at present, there are constant disputes in various places, Gu Yongfeng and the Huainan General Army Battalion are fighting endlessly, I am afraid that no one will take care of it here, who knows what kind of miserable situation will be here when the flood peak will come down?
She had to have money and food on hand.
"Did the Red Lotus Sect Leader escape?" Zhang Xing asked in a low voice.
Stone shook his head, "He fell into my hands, do you still want to live?"
Zhang Xing cleaned the wound of the stone, pounded the medicine and applied it again, and asked, "Are you worried that Gu Yongfeng will reveal the news that you are mixed in it?"
"Gu Yongfeng is not that stupid. I can see it clearly, Gu Yongfeng manages the patrol battalion of the two counties in advance like an iron bucket, and Jinzhou probably listens to him. I'm working for his son-in-law, and he won't leak out the news that I'm mixed in. Shi shook his head and said, "It's the Red Lotus Sect, although the Red Lotus King is dead, many people have escaped." And the Huainan General Army Battalion is not a good product. Before, they didn't say anything, but when they saw that they were about to take Gangneung, they appeared. In my opinion, there is still chaos in Jiangling City, so you should keep Yuxian. ”
Zhang Xing washed her hands and said, "I listen to you." ”
The Red Lotus Sect originally relied on the people under Jianghuai, and in this chaotic war, there will always be people who escape. If someone in the know escapes from what is mixed with the stone, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not vent their hatred with the seal.
The other party is in the dark, they are in the light, and the yin hand is impossible to prevent.
After the wound was taken care of, Zhang Xing straightened the clothes for the stone again. Gu Yu replied at the door, and the table was ready.
"We'll be there in a moment. Zhang Xing replied while buttoning the stone.
The valley rain went down. The stone couldn't help but lean over and kiss Zhang Xing's cheek. (To be continued......)
