After dealing with those things in the palace and the court, An Xiabai took Chen Lian to the capital for a walk, and Chen Lian was very puzzled by her behavior: "Mrs. Lu, if you take me with you so openly, aren't you afraid that I will be unfavorable to you?" After all, although King Li is dead, his generals are still in the capital......."

Although this sound harsh, An Xiabai knew that she was reminding herself, so she shook her head and smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, in this world, who doesn't want a stable life?" ”

Looking at the determined expression on her face, Chen Lian's heart was touched.

"But Mrs. Lu, how can you be sure that you will be able to give them a stable life?"

"I can't say this, it's not me who can give the people of the world a stable life, but the general." An Xiabai curled the corners of her lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm just a businessman, where can I have such ability." By the way, Miss Chen, I specially invited you out today, in addition to letting you see the current situation in the capital, I also want to let your people's hearts, I know that you still have some doubts about my promise, and this kind of doubt needs to be contacted by facts, not pale words. ”

Under Chen Lian's confused gaze, An Xiabai led her to a street.

It was a very lively street, with vendors selling a wide variety of goods on both sides of the street, and passers-by hurriedly walking down the long street, with the occasional few people stopping to pick up one of the objects and look at them, or simply pick up an object that pleasing the eye and buy it.

Before the war began, this was obviously an extremely common scene, but after the war began, Chen Lian rarely saw it again.

She suddenly understood the reason why An Xiabai specially invited herself out of the mansion.

"How did you do that?" Chen Lian asked puzzled.

An Xiabai smiled and blinked her eyes and said: "Maybe Miss Chen Lian doesn't know, before the war started, maybe it should be said that when the general had not rebelled, I was the owner of a restaurant in the capital, not only that, but I also opened a special shop in the capital, because of the operation of those two shops, I have a lot of contacts with those important merchants in the capital, and naturally I have a way to contact them." ”

She turned sideways so that Chen Lian could see the bustling scene behind her.

"These reopened shops are only a small part of them, and there are many more people on their way back to the capital."

Chen Lian listened to the words in her mouth, and for a while she didn't know what she should say.

If those merchants are really willing to return to the capital and open their shops as An Xiabai said, it won't be long before the capital can return to a prosperous scene as before...... Recalling those scenes, Chen Lian's heart was a little shaken. Both of them are smart people, naturally they don't know how to explain too much, Chen Lian glanced at the bustling street, and decided what her next step should be with just one glance.

"The Chen family is not my sole decision, so I am afraid that I will not be able to satisfy all the things you mentioned before, Mrs. Lu, but I can promise you that the Chen family will not express its attitude on some things, including the lord of the world."

Getting a satisfactory answer, An Xiabai smiled and narrowed her eyes.

If the Chen family does not express its position, it is enough.

Although the Chen family does not have clansmen who are officials in the court, but because of their reputation, they have woken up the people, and she works so hard to get Chen Lian's approval because Lu Li can't have an opposing voice, the Chen family doesn't say anything, at least the road ahead can be better.

When An Xiabai was thinking about something, Chen Lian had already walked into the street and into the crowd.

Looking at the businessmen who came and went, Chen Lian fell into deep thought: "Did you know a long time ago that there would definitely be a war in the world?" ”

If he hadn't known in advance, how could An Xiabai pay attention to the merchants in the capital who could talk?

She squinted her eyes and smiled at Chen Lian and said, "There's no need to talk about this matter, right?" ”

Chen Lian glanced at her, thought for a moment, and then nodded with relief and said, "It's really not necessary. ”

Just like as long as the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, it doesn't matter who the lord of the world is, Chen Lian only cares about the result: "I hope General Lu can really become the kind of person you say." ”

Chen Lian kept her promise and promised An Xiabai that she would not let the Chen family interfere in the situation in the world, she went home the same day, and she didn't know what she said to the people of the Chen family, only that the Chen family remained silent after receiving her letter, and the people who trusted the Chen family took this silence as a tacit acquiescence, and it really did not cause any storm in various places.

"Damn Lu Li!" After being kicked out of the door by the officials who tried to contact him for the third time with a bitter face, Feng Bailin couldn't help but curse, "What kind of ability is this, can you get the support of the people by using evil words to confuse the public?" It's really stupid, after I find someone who is willing to help me strengthen my power, the first thing I will do is to settle accounts with Lu Li and An Xiabai, who have hurt me so badly, I will not let them go even if I die! ”

At this time, Feng Bailin, there is no longer the scenery of the past, he lives in a ruined temple, and the subordinates who trust him have also gone all the way, only the two loyal ones are still following them, during this time, they are like rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, and his portrait is posted everywhere, Feng Bailin has almost nowhere to go......

"Master," the subordinate asked stubbornly, "what should we do next?" ”

"How else can I go!" Feng Bailin casually picked up a brick from the ground and smashed it at his feet, "Of course it's to change places and continue to ask....... The world is so big, and I am a prince, there is always someone willing to take me in! ”

His subordinates' eyes darkened slightly, and a mocking look on their faces flashed.

It's all changed, and you're still thinking about what happened back then?

He couldn't help but feel funny.

Feng Bailin thought he was hiding well, but in fact he was not, he was still hiding outside on the surface, and his life was still tightly held in his own hands, but in fact it was not, as early as when he submitted the first person, Lu Li already knew his whereabouts.

The official who betrayed Feng Bailin asked Lu Li with a sneer: "Why don't you give people to ........ directly?"

"Don't kill me." Lu Li shook his head, and said with a cold gaze, "When he is still in full bloom, he can't help me, let alone let them wander around when he is desperate." ”

The official looked surprised, but did not ask about his doubts.

Only Lu Li himself knows that the reason for teasing Feng Bailin like a mouse is actually that Feng Bailin's torture of An Xiabai and Ruqing back then was returned to himself, at that time, Lu Li was at the border and the news was not clear, and because the emperor deliberately concealed the news, he didn't know that something happened to his family, let alone that An Xiabai had been cornered, and he was only told after returning to the capital....... It was at that time that Lu Li hated Feng Bailin.

The bitterness that Ruqing and An Xiabai tasted back then, he wanted Feng Bailin to try it as it was, but poor Feng Bailin didn't know that he had been targeted......

When it was evening, a distant visitor came to the capital.

As the master of the world, although Lu Li has not yet sat in that position, everyone knows that Lu Li already has enough rights, so they run around day and night in order to present a piece of paper.

It was an epistle of refuge.

The first to speak was Yongzhou Taishou, who knelt respectfully in front of Lu Li, holding the letter in his hand, and said: "The subordinates are willing to be loyal to General Lu!" ”

Seeing this, the others also knelt down: "We are also willing to be loyal to General Lu!" ”

Lu Li looked at their kneeling appearance, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Since you are willing to trust me Lu Li, then I will not treat you badly in the future, the balance of the world, Haiyan River is clear, you need to work together with me."

"Willing to serve General Lu!"

Men like power, even Lu Li is no exception, when he accepted those who came to defect, the first thing he did was to talk to An Xiabai. Because of his happiness, his always expressionless face was a little more joyful: "Madame is really not wrong, those county guards really came to me today, and it is indeed a good idea to buy the Chen family." ”

At that time, An Xiabai was sitting in his room thinking about things, and when he heard the words in his mouth, he turned his face and smiled and said: "This is just the beginning, there will be more people coming to defect to the general in the future, and the general must maintain his image at that time." ”

Lu Li nodded: "I understand." ”

Now, Lu Li feels that his ambition has been exposed, at first he raised the army to protect himself, and then after he gradually became stronger, he had one more thought in his heart, and now that thought has been exposed......

An Xia Bai clearly guessed what he was going to do next, why did he go with a look that was not salty or light, and seemed to have expected it a long time ago?

Lu Li was a little confused.

"Madame, don't you find it strange at all?"

What he didn't expect, as soon as his words fell, An Xiabai turned his face: "What's so strange about this?" She smiled and said, "Isn't it a king or a loser?" ”

Lu Li looked at the smile on her face, she didn't know what was going on, and her heart was a little blocked.

He originally wanted to talk to An Xiabai about his thoughts, so that she could give some opinions, but just as he was about to speak, someone from outside suddenly came to report, saying that there was another big official from other places asking to see him, and the helpless Lu Li could only put aside the confusion in his heart for the time being, and turned around and left with the person who reported the news.

Because he was in a hurry, he didn't look back, so he missed the gaze that An Xiabai cast when he turned around.

"Ma'am," a maid came forward with tea, "this is freshly brewed tea." ”

An Xiabai pressed the corner of his forehead that was faintly painful and said, "Let that go, and drink it when I come back." ”

It was too stuffy to stay in the room, and An Xiabai wanted to leave the room and go out to breathe.

What she didn't expect was that she walked to the door, and by coincidence, she happened to meet the person who wanted to sneak through the door.

An Xiabai narrowed her eyes: "Lu Shu'er, where are you going?" ”
