Chapter 668 Sister Tea Talk (Part [-])
All eyes were on the guard.

The guard who was named came forward: "General, I have met once, but it is not acquaintance."

"When?" Nie Huimo said in a deep voice.

The guard named Ling Yang briefly explained how the cripple beat his wife that day. He beat her twice in total, once in front of the pharmacy and once in the back alley.

The companion who went with him was called Xiang Shan, and stepped forward to add: "The lame man and his wife are both from Ning'an Building."

"People from Zhao Ning?" Nie Huimo said.

"Yes."

"She didn't say anything to you?"

"... Ah Li?" Ling Yang asked.

"Ah."

Ling Yang shook his head: "No."

Nie Huimo nodded, and turned his gaze back to the outside.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the clouds are completely darkened, and the water on the ground is getting deeper, continuing to bear thousands of rain arrows shot down from the sky.

"She should go to Ning'an Building now." Nie Huimo said softly.

"Shall we go?" Zhang Zhi asked.

Nie Huimo shook his head: "No."

He turned and walked towards the back hall without saying a word.

Guiyuan Inn is very close to Ning'an Building.

Xia Zhaoyi reined in his horse and got down, only wearing a bamboo hat, his clothes were soaked through by the beating.

The man recognized her and came out to welcome her: "Miss Xia!"

Upon hearing this, Steward Chu also hurried out.

There are still many guests in the lobby, curiously looking at the girl at the door.

Xia Zhaoyi wringed off the water from his clothes, and asked about Wang Fengnian's affairs. Steward Chu wanted her to rest assured that everything was settled, but after finishing speaking, Steward Chu hesitated to speak.

"What Manager Chu wants to say has something to do with Nie Huimo?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

"Miss Ali, do you know?" Steward Chu whispered.

"He stopped Zhao Ning yesterday?"

Steward Chu nodded: "Yes."

"Where is Zhao Ning at the moment?"

"Well," Manager Chu hurriedly made an invitation, "The eldest lady is upstairs."

"Okay, I'll go see her." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Steward Chu did not follow, but first went to the back and ordered the staff to prepare a set of dry clothes, and then fetched a few towels.

Zhao Ning was writing a letter in the room, and the room was burning with the fragrance of her favorite wintersweet.

There was a knock on the door, Yiqiu went to open the door, and when she saw it was Xia Zhaoyi, she was overjoyed: "My lady, it's Miss Ali!"

The voice just fell, and he was surprised again: "Miss Ali, where are you from?"

The clothes are soaked, there is a lot of mud on the clothes, and the hair is sticky and wet at the temples, a little messy.

Although it is not in a state of embarrassment, nor does it damage her temperament, but after all, I am used to seeing Xia Zhaoyi's elegant appearance that does not move in the wind and rain, and I rarely see this state.

Because of her gaze, Xia Zhaoyi patted the mud on his clothes in vain, raised his head and said, "I went to find someone to fight, but it's not a win."

"fight?"

Xia Zhaoyi nodded, and looked at Zhao Ning who walked out of the room.

"Ali," Zhao Ning frowned slightly, "Didn't you...go to fight with Nie Huimo?"

Xia Zhaoyi laughed, "You guessed it right."

There was a sound from the stairs, and Steward Chu hurried upstairs with clean clothes and dry cloth.

Zhao Ning said, "Come in first, it's cold here."

The smell in the room is very good, as soon as Yiqiu came in, she went to move soft pillows and hug soft quilts.

Xia Zhaoyi wiped his hair and clothes with a dry cloth, while Zhao Ning put his hands aside and said, "I think you might as well take a bath."

"Where are Mr. Qi and Wang Fengnian?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

"In the south building, if you want to see them, I will send someone to call, and they will be there soon."

The Ning'an building is very large, and the south building is on the other side, so it needs to pass through two small courtyards.

"No hurry." Xia Zhaoyi said.

I wiped my hair again, it was sticky, it would be more comfortable to take a hot bath.

"Madam Qu sent someone to deliver a letter to me, mentioning what happened to you at Qu's Mansion at noon." Zhao Ning said.

Xia Zhaoyi paused for a moment, then looked up at her: "He owes too much beating."

Zhao Ning smiled suddenly, and his lips curled up under the veil: "These years, I almost thought that you were going to grow into a monk who became a monk in the sect of life. It seems that you still have emotions."

"How can I be so lifeless."

"Who said you are dead?" Zhao Ning raised his hand to help comb her hair, "Your eyes are like the light of the sun, moon and stars, filled with spiritual energy, how can you be dead."

Xia Zhaoyi laughed and looked at Yiqiu: "Am I the only one who has been praised by your eldest lady?"

"That's not true!" Yiqiu tidied up the soft couch, smiling coquettishly, "The eldest lady treats everyone coldly, but she treats Mrs. Qu the same, but she just loves you, Miss Ali!"

Xia Zhaoyi laughed out loud.

After laughing for a while, she lowered her hand to wipe her hair, and said seriously to Zhao Ning: "I'm not sure if Nie Huimo will trouble you again, but I have other ideas, so you don't have to worry."

"I'm not afraid," Zhao Ning said lightly, "Yesterday, I didn't have enough manpower, so I temporarily avoided it. Today I hired more people, and Hengxiang's guards will come here to protect me, so you don't have to worry. However, But you just said that it is not considered a victory?"

"He's more skilled than I would have liked."

"If it's an enemy, he will be a strong enemy," Zhao Ning said, "I've been investigating him for the past two days, and I only got a piece of news this morning. Ah Li, I still remember that in September of Geng Yin's year, Uncle Yun sent [-] troops to Tian Dayao When the two armies confronted Song Zhiyi, did you suddenly take the opportunity to raid Tian Dayao's Pingyu County?"

"En." Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

"It wasn't Yun Bozhong who called him, but Nie Huimo who persuaded Tian Dayao to give up."

"Persuasion?" Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows, "Tian Dayao worked so hard to beat Yu County and Jidi, can Nie Huimo persuade him?"

"That's why he is scary. Only he dares to persuade, and only he has the means to persuade him. Besides, he dares to give up Pingyu County." Zhao Ning took a deep breath and looked out the window. "It turned out that giving up is right. Yes, if we insisted on protecting Yu County, Tian Dayao's main force would be exhausted by multiple lines, and there would be no battle of Muye where the three parties were evenly matched."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "He is indeed bold."

"As an enemy, I must find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible." Zhao Ning said.

Thinking of Zhao Ning swallowing his 10 taels of goods, Xia Zhaoyi bent his lips and smiled: "Zhao Ning, you have caused a lot of trouble these years."

"Businessman," Zhao Ning also laughed, "I'll make a profit, so I'll try not to hurt the world, and at most I'll take advantage of others."

"There is one thing," Xia Zhaoyi changed the subject, "Zhao Ning, why did you marry Zaichun to that man?"

Zhao Ning paused for a moment, then sat down beside Xia Zhaoyi's soft couch, and continued to wipe her carefully with a dry towel.

"Because," Zhao Ning said calmly, "I can't bear to kill Zaichun."

"kill?"

"Well, she has been by my side for a long time and knows a lot about me. Let her out, she will be a hidden danger, and she also wants to kill me," Zhao Ning sneered, "Ah Li, why do you think she wants to kill me? Hate is irrelevant."

"It has nothing to do with hatred?" Xia Zhaoyi repeated in a low voice, and then said, "Then, is it because I'm afraid of you?"

　Thank you Ah Li for the reward~~ I like Zhao Ning so much, so I took it out to chat, sisters or something, the most loving, (^^*)
