Chapter 53: Yin Du Chaos
There was no time to say goodbye, Zhuang Xun settled Siqin Mi and suddenly felt a lot easier.
After that, he apologized to Jiang Xianqi, told a few friends and Li Ruxi about the breaking of Cheng Dieguan, and asked her for forgiveness, and after getting forgiveness, Zhuang Xun walked out of the firm.
walked out of the trading house and walked to the caravan station, and the next thing was to tell He Heng and the others that he was not going to leave.
"Sir, why, King Yu hasn't conquered you yet, what can't you let go of at this time." Huang Xi had read a little book, but he couldn't understand what Zhuang Xun said to Jiang Xianqi, in his opinion, Zhuang Xun has not accepted the expedition now, and people are free.
"Sir, you are not a person who is greedy for power, let's go together, leave this place of right and wrong, it just so happened that Mrs. Jiang let our caravan go together, this place will definitely be chaotic when I hear that Chengdian Pass is broken."
He Heng couldn't understand it either, and tried his best to persuade Zhuang Xun, but Zhuang Xun was a strange person, and it didn't seem strange to do anything.
"There's always something to hold onto." Zhuang Xun is not as righteous as Jiang Xianqian to these friends and brothers, and he is not good at selling Li Ruxi directly, as for the words of the old Taoist, everyone will think he is crazy when he says it.
can only be said to be ambiguous, he is mainly for the sake of the official, he is really greedy for power, because if he is not greedy, he will die in the future, and if he is greedy, there is still a chance of life.
"You can't insist on your life, Brother Xiao Xun, if you don't leave, I won't leave Lao Luo." Luo Yuecheng hugged his hands and sat on the bench with his buttocks, he wanted to repay Zhuang Xun for saving his mother.
"What nonsense, you are here to accompany me, if you die, who will support the old lady, and the second brother is also, sister-in-law and sister Tan are waiting for you to go back, Laneige is also going to Chengguo, although I asked Mrs. Jiang to take care of it, but it is not very safe, you can also help take care of it." Zhuang Xun pushed Luo Yuecheng and asked at the same time at He Heng to ask.
These two people have families in Chengguo, they don't go back, their families have no livelihood, and he won't let these two people stay with him.
"I don't have any family, I'll stay and protect my husband." Huang Xi laughed and said that he fed the whole family and was not hungry.
"Have you forgotten that you're still going to trouble that dog man and woman?" Zhuang Xun asked rhetorically that Huang Xi's goal is to take revenge in the future, and to take revenge on the dog man and woman who died in his family, which can be regarded as his obsession.
"I'm not a person who likes to sacrifice other people's goals and families, I know that after Chengdieguan is broken, you can also think of the chaos in Yindu, and you said it yourself just now, so you all leave Yindu today." Zhuang Xun persuaded the three to leave.
Zhuang Xun felt that he was very unsuitable to compete for the king, because he didn't want to harm his friends, and he knew that if he asked, the three of them would definitely stay to help him, protect him, and improve his survival rate, but he didn't want to do this.
This is a big gamble to make his own decision, he doesn't want to implicate others, after all, losing the bet may be death, there is no need to involve others.
Someone doesn't think so.
"No, I want to stay, if something happens to Mr. this time, then even if I have the last chance to kill two sluts, I Huang Xi will not be happy, and I can take advantage of the chaos in Yu Kingdom to go back to my hometown and slaughter the pair of dogs and men, I want to stay." Huang Xi said firmly, with a resolute attitude, he really wants to be less burdened.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Zhuang Xun thought about it, he didn't really want to live and die with Yu Guo, and Huang Xi, who had no family, stayed and took care of himself, so it was okay.
He was also afraid that Huang Xi would really stay and seek revenge from the enemy, Huang Xi was not strong now, and he didn't know if he would take revenge or send his head when he went back.
So Zhuang Xun nodded and dissuaded: "Yes, but it's still dangerous to kill people while there's chaos, let's see when the time comes." ”
"I want to ...... too" Luo Yuecheng wanted to say that I would stay too, but Zhuang Xun was glared at and couldn't say the words in his mouth.
"Second Brother He, you go to Chengguo first, wait to answer me, in the end, Yu Guo has fallen, and Xun will also go to Chengguo, now I have a reason to stay in Yu Guo." Zhuang Xun can be regarded as a thorough statement, otherwise He Heng will stay, according to his understanding of He Heng.
"Okay, since Mr. said so, Heng is waiting for Mr. in Chengguo." He Heng was entangled, and finally agreed with a wry smile, he really couldn't understand Zhuang Xun's train of thought, could it be that the Chengdian Pass was broken, and Yu Guo could still be saved?
You must know that there is a large plain between Chengdieguan and Yindu, and there is almost no danger to defend, which is also the reason why everyone judges that Chengdieguan is broken and Yuguo is about to die.
He does have a wife and children to take care of, and like Luo Yuecheng, he must return to Chengguo, if Zhuang Xun asks him to stay, he will naturally stay and repay Zhuang Xun's kindness, but Zhuang Xun is a temper that does not like to drag people down, and he will be driven away by Zhuang Xun if he takes the initiative to stay, and now Zhuang Xun is considered to have stepped down for him.
"Huang Xi, you have to protect Mr. Zhuang well! Count me and Arrow owing you a favor. He Heng, who felt guilty, could only tell Huang Xi that since Zhuang Xun didn't want them to stay.
"Of course I know, no need Second Brother He to say that I know, I lived my life before, and now of course I have to fight to protect Mr."
Huang Xi showed an excited expression, this was the first time he had the opportunity to repay Zhuang Xun for saving his life, the previous Zhuang Xun did not give them this kind of opportunity at all, his retribution was very heavy, that is, very righteous.
After discussing clearly, Zhuang Xun said goodbye to a few people, and watched the caravan with Si Qinmi leave Yin Du, and his mood became relaxed.
At least I know that Chengdi Pass has been breached, and the chaos in Yin Du will not affect Si Qinmi.
When he returned home, he was still a little unaccustomed to the empty home, less than a month, but it felt like a long time, he was quite reluctant to Si Qinmi, and when he went home without her voice, he was a lot lonely, and he couldn't sleep with the soft and glutinous lady, and he felt that he couldn't sleep tonight.
Picking up the unfinished embroidery, his fingers brushed over the bluebird outlined, Zhuang Xun smiled, Siqin Mi still seemed to be a little obsessed, probably not wanting to lose to Mrs. Jiang in skills.
The room was already full of traces of Siqin Mi, calligraphy and paintings, notes, silk clothes, and some books she bought.
Recalling how Si Qinmi did this, showing a faint smile, the gentle big sister and Mrs. captured his heart, and this month was the most comfortable month he had come to this world.
Because I had something to rely on, I thought of staying and fighting.
In the evening, some Huang Xi came with luggage, and bought a little wine, and the two drank together, and the food reserve was enough, just waiting for Yin to know the news that Chengdian Pass had been breached.
"Sir, has Youguo really broken through the Chengdi Pass?" Huang Xi still has a hard time believing it.
The sacredness of this pass is the existence of Optimus Prime in the hearts of the people of the entire Yu Kingdom, and it is impossible for everyone to break through it by a frontal attack.
"Mrs. Jiang has fled, what do you think, there is no definite news, will she leave in such a hurry?" Zhuang Xun has a drink, and there is no need to question the news that Chengdieguan has been broken, it has been confirmed.
Distilled spirits already exist, but the main popular sake is not too intoxicating, after all, drunken and slightly drunk are opposites in the culture, and drunken is criticized, and slightly drunk is praised instead.
"Yes, sir, you said that Yin knows what will become of this news." Huang Xi gulped down the wine, tore off a piece of meat and said.
"First of all, the magnates will flee, the army of Youguo has the habit of killing in pits, these people will spare their lives, they will definitely escape, and then there are ordinary people, such as the Xu family, who have a little money, will also flee, only the poor can't escape, the rich people escape, Yin will become dilapidated, all aspects will be affected, and there will be various public security problems, and when the Youjun arrives, it is estimated that the city will be surrendered directly, but it is still inevitable to kill." Zhuang Xun speculated.
Accompanied by a series of effects of soaring prices, and maybe a coup d'état, Yin Du has become unlivable anyway.
"So how long are we going to stay in such a chaotic place? Sir, do you really have to wait for Yu Guo to surrender before leaving? Huang Xi thought about it and could imagine that there would be no law and order and chaos at that time.
"Look, maybe not." Zhuang Xun shook his head and ate the braised pork that had been prepared.
He is not a fool, he really has to wait for the Youguo army to hit Yin Du before he runs.
"I don't understand what Mr. thinks, I know it's good to support Mr., Mr. is a good person." Huang Xile said hehehe.
"I'm a good person, just an ordinary person with a better heart." Zhuang Xun has never felt that he is a good person, it is difficult to say that he is greedy for money, and he is lustful.
"If the whole world were ordinary people like Mr., the world might be the same." Huang Xi smiled, not believing Zhuang Xun's words.
"This time you stay, if you don't die, I will help you get revenge." Zhuang Xun reciprocated, if he could get the position of the right envoy of Hebei Province this time, and Yu Guo could keep it, he was fully capable of helping Huang Xi redress his grievances.
"Then don't bother, sir, just give me Huang Xi a chance to show his talents, and I will cook that pair of dog men and women." Huang Xi is also a little arrogant, the important thing is that he didn't do it himself, and it is difficult to eliminate his hatred.
"Forget it, it's good if you're happy." Looking up at the moon, I feel that it is not interesting, the moon is not perfect, and the people are not perfect.
The two of them also drank stuffy wine, Zhuang Xun felt uncomfortable and went back to the room to sleep, and slept in a daze until he didn't know how long.
It was startled by the noise, the chickens flew and the dogs jumped, and the autumn sun was also quite poisonous, and people's mood was even more hot.
Chengdi Pass was breached, and the news of the quick horse whip came from the front line, what is called the shaking of the government and the opposition, this is called the shaking of the government and the opposition.
The officials of the upper court who heard the news even planned to turn around and leave, hurry home to pack their bags, and prepare to run away.
And the court meeting ended, and naturally this news was transmitted to the grassroots, and then the entire Yin fell into a state of floating people's hearts.
Pack, pack, and run.
Countless people repeat the same action.
Yin Du is no longer safe, except for the strong city, there is nothing to rely on, everyone even subconsciously feels that the Chengyu coalition has been defeated, anyway, the country is no longer saved, just waiting for the Youguo to come and sweep the autumn leaves.
Zhuang Xun did not go out, there was food reserves, sitting and watching the chaos happen, people fled one by one, the market price changed, the price of rice hit a new high, and they were still in the quiet years.
The next day, the Xu family knocked on the door and invited him to go out for refuge together, but he refused.
Zhuang Xun can now be sure that the Xu family probably really didn't know about the ghost things Xu Houde did, otherwise it would be impossible for Yu Guo to invite him to take refuge when he saw that he was about to perish.
The Xu family looked very guilty, especially this time Mrs. Chen came, and felt that she really wanted to compensate Zhuang Xun, but Zhuang Xun had his own ideas, so he naturally refused.
On the third day, perhaps the Xu family left, and the second uncle of Lizheng Xu, who represented the order, was gone, and there was news that many people had been stolen from Xufang, and there were robbers and robberies, and even murders, and no one from the government came, which exacerbated this chaos.
Sensing that Xu Fang was not safe, Zhuang Xun called Huang Xi, took the gold and silver, and went to the prosperous Dongcheng to go to the guest house.
The streets have become depressed, there are fewer people, and those who can go out to take refuge have gone out to take refuge, and those who can't go have taken refuge in their homes and are reluctant to come out.
The news is also chaotic, some say that the Youjun is cavalry has hit Yindufu, and some say that the Youjun is pulling out the city along the road and has occupied two roads, and the people are panicking, and the herd effect is more obvious.
Staying in Yin Du is only unable to run away and bold, the innkeeper is a bold person, after all, he is the only one in the entire Dongcheng who is still open for business.
The forbidden army took over the night and imposed a curfew, and Zhuang Xun felt a lot more secure, perhaps because of his sense of security, he gave him a big job.
When you encounter robbers, in broad daylight, masked bandits, and there is a forbidden army at night, then it's okay, you will rob during the day.
I can really feel the feeling that the country will not be a country, more than a dozen big men robbed a downtown inn during the day, and the innkeeper's face was green, probably regretting why he didn't escape.
Zhuang Xun is the first time to see this kind of scene, everyone is stupid, this is not to talk about the king's law, but this group of people want money and don't want to die, so he should be ruined.
The big money was taken away by Si Qinmi, and all that was left was small money, but it was also very distressing, it was money, it was money.
At this time, the only inn can't live anymore, so I can only return to Xufang, and I always feel that I have just left Longtan and entered the tiger's den.
"Sir, why don't we go to Chengguo." Huang Xi was instigated, this kind of gang crime, who can withstand it, especially when the government is inactive, he is only rough in martial arts, he can still deal with two or three, and there is no way to deal with four or five.
"It's getting late now, we'll leave tomorrow." It's been four or five days, and there is no news of the reversal, and the important thing is that the money is gone.
He thought it would be very chaotic, but he never expected it to be like this, and at this time he could realize that the chaotic times are not as good as people's wishes, and human life is not as good as the true meaning of dogs.
Even if the mountains and rivers are exhausted, Zhuang Xun also faintly regrets not leaving earlier, which is a normal reaction of people, but there is no regret medicine in life, and when you make a choice, you must bear the consequences and risks caused by your choice.
"Zhuang Xiaolian, I'm sorry, someone bought your life." Back home, more than a dozen masked strong men came out of the house and surrounded Zhuang Xun and Huang Xi.
"I won't resist buying my life, can you let my companion go." Zhuang Xun looked at the young Huang Xi and regretted it even more.
