In the first year of Shenwu, in a turbulent July, the autumn wind was fierce, the willow leaves were flying, and the few koi fish that could occasionally be bumped into in the Qinhuai River did not know whether they had been caught by someone, or they felt that the weather had sunk to the bottom of the river.

This year's autumn has a touch of desolation and slaughter, perhaps since last year, too many things have happened one after another, like a big stone pressing on everyone's heart, and they have been out of breath for a long time. Even those who don't have dead people in the house really can't be happy when they are infected by the surrounding atmosphere. What's more, for ordinary people, what makes people even more panicked this year is the sudden death of the emperor, for them, the Son of Heaven is like a god-like existence, but he also died last year, plus some subsequent things that happened one after another, for them, they didn't think a little too much.

What's more, there were some good deeds who played a disgraceful role in this, which led to the Jiangpu Rebellion.

After settling down, everyone's resistance to the new law has finally subsided a little, perhaps because of Jiangpu's previous experience, and no one has any dissenting intentions. Of course, there are also those who just suppress this kind of thinking very deep in their hearts.

Wang Ning didn't personally participate in too many things, if you want to say that the source of all the turmoil has to start with Qin Bi's retreat last year, and then naturally there will be peace talks with Beirong. The assassination of Qin Bi that he directly participated in was not so easy to pass in his heart. originally planned to take advantage of this to get out, but later underestimated Qin Ruiqing's ability and almost lost his own life, judging from this point alone, it seems that he can no longer care.

It's just that more or less because of the change of identity, some of his ideas have also undergone earth-shaking changes, so for people like Qin Bi, he doesn't want the other party to die, and he still can't completely see through the world.

Or maybe he just doesn't know how he will exist in this world and how he will face those ancestors under the Nine Springs if he is really defeated one day!

This kind of rhetoric is probably not really what he really thinks, and he is now like this, and it is true that there is no reason to think about these things.

is concerned about Qin Bi's life and death, it should be because he feels that people like him are not dead, so the other party should not die.

After thinking about it, it really should be like this.

Since the beginning of Qixi Festival last year, Jiangning has entered the darkest era, first the victims from the north poured over, Jiangning closed the city, and was used by some people to set the fire to the bottom. The fire had no memory for him, but the small fire that came later also broke out again because of Sun Heng's reminder.

The woman named Ji Ling'er was already a knot in his heart that he couldn't untie.

He could guess something, but he wasn't sure, maybe it was just to ease his guilt, so he thought she was still alive, but he hadn't done anything else in the past year except to secretly ask around.

Time flies, and a year has passed since his leisurely days, and he should be relaxed and relaxed, so he really feels a little bored.

It is estimated that the school outside the city has been built, and a group of children will be able to be enrolled in the coming year. vp

The business name Yunji has also developed very well recently, and after a thorough reshuffle, some people have left, and some have joined in. In the big situation, the interests of each family were redivided, the rules were determined, and vicious competition was avoided, and friction between each other was not frequent, so the commerce of the entire Jiangning gradually recovered. Of course, out of the same interests or mutual checks and balances, there are still two factions at the moment, one is headed by the Su family, and the other is Yun Ji and a group of hungry wolves and fierce dogs.

Everyone seems to be very satisfied with the business situation in the city, so they are all talking about expansion, so in Hangzhou City, which is not far away, there is still a fight between the Su family and Yunji, but after all, it is not in Jiangning, which is another matter. Moreover, this is good news for the families other than the two families in Jiangning, after all, everyone is afraid that those two families will unite, so Jiangning will have nothing to do with them!

After all, not everyone has that kind of courage when it comes to going out.

Former giants such as the Li family and the Xue family are now powerless.

Regarding the rumors that have been circulating in the market recently, many people actually show their intentions, and they have had that incident before, and everyone is happy to believe this, whether it is to take some precautions in private or quietly.

On the teahouse, Xue Lin and He Guangting sat opposite each other, and in front of them was the best West Lake Longjing, but the two of them didn't seem to be interested in tasting tea, and they each locked their eyebrows, not knowing what solemn things they were pretending to be.

He Guangting glanced out of the window, and it didn't take long before he took it back, took a sip of the teacup, and said softly: "It's not easy between the two of them, the two families are fighting and making trouble, to put it bluntly, they have a grudge, how can it be said that it is good, a few days ago, the news came back from Hangzhou, and the two of them were fighting very hotly over there."

He Guangting took the teacup, rubbed it for a while, and said: "Brother Xue's words are a bit arbitrary, and fighting and making trouble is a wrongdoer...... I've heard people say that those two have a life-saving grace for each other, it's a life-saving friendship, and besides, it's common for talented and beautiful people to fall in love at first sight! ”

Xue Lin's face was bitter and a little sad.

He Guangting didn't seem to see the expression on his friend's face, and continued to sprinkle salt on the other party's wound, and said quietly: "The two families fought to the death before, maybe they were trying to do their own thing, otherwise the Su family has reached that point, Yun Ji can crush the Su family to death as long as he gently puts a straw on it, but people pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so they don't do that...... Later, the situation of the two families reversed, and the Su family still let Yun Ji go......" Speaking of this, He Guangting paused, raised his eyebrows, and laughed, "Brother Xue, at this point, we did lose." ”

Xue Lin didn't refute, what he said was also the truth, and he couldn't afford to have some other ideas, or he didn't want to admit it.

But this kind of frustration is unacceptable, and it is more unwilling.

After such a toss this time, his Xue family completely fell from the clouds and became a second-rate family, and with the Yunji Su family pressing on his head, I am afraid that there is no future ahead. Every time he thought of this, he was a little sad, and more helpless, for the first time in so many years, he felt so powerless.

But on closer thought, what could he do?

As if he was still unwilling to give up, he took a few sips of tea, he looked at He Guangting with a bright face, and asked with a hint of pleading: "Brother He, I really don't have a chance at all?"
