Chapter 41: Mixed Reputations

Back in Xiafu, Xia Wanhua began to get busy again. With Yu Donghai's submission, she can justifiably arrange for someone to rebuild the moat of Kunze City. Yang Shu is a person with great powers, and I don't know where to find two people who are proficient in water conservancy at once. Xia Wanhua was happy to see it, rewarded him with silver, and arranged for him to follow Xu Li to supervise the work.

And Rong Zhao hasn't gone out much since he got the armor, and he often stays in the house, and he doesn't know what to do. Xia Wanhua went to see him once, and when he saw that he was reading and writing, he stopped bothering him.

But recently, there have always been people at the gate of the Xia Mansion who have been probing non-stop. After Xia Wanhua found out, she asked the guards to secretly tie people up. But after interrogation, it was found out that they were ordered by a girl in their house to inquire about Rong Zhao's situation.

Xia Wanhua couldn't cry or laugh after listening to Chen Xiaoyu's report.

"This person is good-looking, but it's also troublesome!"

Chen Xiao is also over forty years old. He listened to Xia Wanhua's words, and couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his face. "It seems to be ugly and comfortable."

Xia Wanhua laughed.

"Where is that girl? If it's good, I'll help Rong Zhao be a matchmaker. No, my five blessings are incomplete, not suitable. ”

"Childe, you can't make this joke." Chen Xiao immediately stopped Xia Wanhua.

"What? Can Rong Zhao still eat me? ”

Chen Xiao lowered his voice: "Son, you don't know anything!" Rong Zhao's reputation in Pingcheng is mixed. The good thing is that he has done a great job. The bad thing is that he doesn't refuse to come to women. His nickname is a household name! The princess of the Northern Barbarians took a fancy to him and wanted to recruit him as a concubine, but he was afraid that he would be killed by the Northern Barbarians if he went to the Northern Barbarians, so he chose to be a proton in the Chen Dynasty. ”

"His private life is so chaotic, I don't see it." Xia Wanhua pondered for a moment, and then told Chen Xiao: "Then you secretly look at him, don't let him cause trouble." ”

"No! What about that housekeeper? He's probably going to know a lot about us. In the past two days, he has remembered all the people who have been in and out of the mansion. ”

"Who sent him?" Xia Wanhua is not worried about this. She was now just one chance away from declaring the independence of Kunze City.

"Xie period, once served as the guard of the Singyang Pass leading to the Western Regions in Great Xia, and was later impeached, and it was not easy to settle this matter. Later, Xu wanted to open it, so he resigned and escaped from the world. ”

"Resigned?" Xia Wanhua stood up and walked to the picture. "I think I've heard of this man. Prepare the gifts, Rong Zhao and I will visit Xie Mansion tomorrow. ”

Early the next morning, Rong Zhao was pulled out of the house by Xia Wanhua, and he was so unhappy. He had known for a long time that someone had inquired about him. This Xia Wanhua dragged him to Xie Mansion again, this is a posture to pack him up and sell him!

"Do you really want to be a human trafficker?"

"What?" Xia Wanhua was confused by his question.

"Xie Fu." Rong Zhao bit out two words heavily, and the resentment in his eyebrows became deeper and deeper.

Xia Wanhua frowned, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. "I want to sell you, but Xie Fu has to be willing to buy you! Xie Fu's Xie period used to be the guard of Sing Yang Pass, and I want to win it over. Yu Donghai is also Xu Li's person, and there must be a day when I don't move. ”

"Oh!" Rong Zhao immediately smiled and nodded. "I'll just say that you won't be so profit-seeking, and you won't sell your companions in order to win over people."

"Hypocrisy!" Xia Wanhua glanced out of the corner of her eyes.

"I'm telling you the truth." Rong Zhao sat precariously and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look.

Xia Wanhua couldn't do anything about him, so she didn't pay attention to him anymore.

After being silent for a while, Rong Zhao's face was dark, different from the hippie smiling face on weekdays, and there was a momentum lingering around his body.

Xia Wanhua retracted her gaze, her face cold.

"How long will Xu Li stay in Kunze City?"

"Forever."

The two men looked at each other, and then smiled tacitly.

"Wanhua, you little woman, where did you come from so many curves?"

"Is it much?" Xia Wanhua raised her face slightly. "That's why the Rong family is being held in the north, and it is becoming more and more unpleasant."

"What do you mean by that?" Rong Zhao bowed slightly, a pair of fox eyes with inquiry.

"How can it be possible to rule the world by force for a long time? People's hearts cannot be controlled by force. The Rong family takes force as an order and uses force as a government, which is to bring about their own destruction. ”

"How should that be?"

"How?" Xia Wanhua smiled slightly and opened her mouth.

"Why is there a distinction between civil servants and military generals since ancient times? The military generals will expand the territory and seize the world, and the Wenchen is Anbang to govern the country and set the world. Martial arts cannot be neglected, and literature cannot be abolished. That's why I have you to help me fight on the battlefield, and I have to keep Xu Li to help me rebuild Kunze City. It's just that now the world is in turmoil, and the warriors have the upper hand for the time being. But think about it, how much national power does it have to lose in the economic ledger after each war? If you only rely on your generals to rob and plunder the city, how long can you last? Therefore, although I can't fully trust Xu Li, I have to admit that he has the ability to govern the country in peace and can help me improve the people's livelihood and national strength. ”

"I see. I'm still curious how do you know he has that ability? Rong Zhao now found that Xia Wanhua's gaze was really different from other ordinary girls.

"He can read the folds."

"Folding?"

"Actually, I've known Xu Li for many years. At that time, Great Xia was still there. One day, my uncle took me to buy something on the street, and he was carrying a notebook, which he accidentally lost and was picked up by Xu Li. He pointed out the mistakes in the recital. My uncle appreciated him very much, and he assumed the pseudonym Wang Li and worshipped my uncle as his teacher. ”

"What his mentor in Taoyuanzhai that day was your uncle?"

"It should be."

"What should it be? Could it be that he also worshipped other people as teachers? ”

Xia Wanhua smiled helplessly. Otherwise, why would he use a pseudonym to apprentice? At that time, his father did not slaughter the Sun family, and there was no big hatred. ”

was asked like this, and Rong Zhao was also asked. Maybe only Xu Li himself knows the reason.

"Then Xu Li already knows your true identity?"

"I don't know." Xia Wanhua blinked her bright eyes, and her expression was in a trance, as if she was recalling the past. "I've never shown up in front of Wang Li, so he doesn't know me at all."

"Not necessarily!" Rong Zhao smiled slyly. He didn't believe it, Xu Li didn't doubt it at all.

Xia Wanhua was silent. She hadn't really thought about it.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the Xie Mansion, and the guards handed over the name sticker. After a while, the house slave led them into the Xie Mansion and came to the hall.

Xie Ji didn't expect Xia Wanhua and Rong Zhao to come to visit. When he saw Rong Zhao, he was in the same mood as Li Kun, excited and excited.

Xia Wanhua just wanted Xie Qi to get acquainted with Rong Zhao. She may not be in a hurry to use the thank you period now, but it is not equal to later. She needs this kind of innocent person who has nothing to do with any power.

"Xie Chengshou, Wanhua is really here today to ask for sin. I lost a little thing in my house, and the house slave was confused for a while and tied up the wrong person, tying up the house slave in the Ling Mansion as a thief. So tonight Walter came to apologize. ”
