Splendid Peasant Girl: The Reborn Husband Asks for a Hug

As Chu Ning said, martial law at the city gate is not a bad thing.

Other families don't know what to do, but for their family, it is definitely a good thing, because Lao Chu's family can no longer go to the city.

No one came chasing for money anymore, and Chu Shouli, who didn't know why, was surprised and relieved at the same time, he could finally do things with peace of mind.

He was only thinking about business, even when he felt that the inspection was strict when he entered and left the city, he didn't think about other places, and he didn't know what kind of dark time the Changrao County next door had experienced, so he didn't have any worries, and he was still happy. Drinking fruit wine, I feel that life is particularly exciting.

Qin's was busy weaving all day long, except for going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, she hardly went out, and she didn't know anything about the outside world.

On the contrary, Chu Jing keenly noticed that there were more and more yamen servants on the street, but after all, she was young and had never experienced troubled times. In any case, she would never have imagined that bandits were infested outside, threatening the lives of the people. When there was a thief, he stole many people's houses, and made a big commotion, and the county magistrate ordered the whole city to be arrested under martial law.

It is not easy for anyone to make money. After working so hard to save a few coins, I am not willing to spend them, but in the end they are stolen by these vicious thieves.

These thieves are really hateful!

Chu Jing originally wanted to remind Chu Ning to be more careful, her ginseng and ganoderma lucidum are all valuables, but don't be targeted by others, but after thinking about it, there is Xiao Huihui, no matter what kind of thief is, don't want to touch their house door, so she didn't mention anything.

The martial law at the city gate did not have any impact on the Chu family, but instead helped them keep their troubles out. Chu Ning felt that it was okay to continue like this.

Just don't know how long they can last.

Chu Ning guessed not optimistically that this policy would be canceled in at most half a year. It is said that there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent a thousand days from a thief. After a long time, who can keep tense String, always be vigilant.

In addition, investing so many people must cost a lot. How long County Magistrate Wu can keep them is uncertain, so she counts half a year in Gaoli.

But if the situation outside is getting more and more chaotic, then it's another matter.

The days passed quickly, and it was September in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Mengxiu brought another explosive news, saying that King Ning raised the flag of King Kang's rebellious army, openly recognized King Kang as his son, and rebelled accordingly.

Everyone was stunned.

"No mistake, King Ning, King Ning, how could he rebel?"

"Yes, there are so many royal family members, anyone can rebel, but King Ning can't. This is something everyone in the world knows. How could he suddenly follow King Kang to rebel?"

Several people excitedly shouted that it was impossible, and Meng Xiu sighed, "I didn't believe it when I first heard it, but it's the truth, you have to believe it if you don't believe it."

Chu Ning asked Fang Shengyu puzzled, "Who is this King Ning, and why do you think it is impossible for him to rebel?"

Fang Shengyu explained, "King Ning is the nephew raised by the emperor himself. Although he is a nephew in name, he treats him more affectionately than his own son..."

After talking for a long time, Chu Ning understood, "King Ning's father is the emperor's brother, and Ning's mother is the queen's sister. He is both the emperor's nephew and the emperor's nephew. Is that what it means?"

"Yes."

"Then what is the relationship between Kang Wang and the emperor?"

"He is the emperor's fifth uncle."

Chu Jing nodded to show that she understood, so she didn't ask any more questions. On the way back, she said, "This world is really going to be chaotic."

Fang Shengyu's face was heavy, "I feel as if there is an invisible hand manipulating the overall situation, and whether King Kang or King Ning is just a pawn in his game."

Chu Ning sighed, "According to what you say, it's over."

Fang Shengyu also sighed, "I hope I'm wrong."

King Ning's fiefdom is in the southwest, while King Kang's is in the northwest. The two of them, one south and one north, are separated by half of Daxia's land. They don't know how they conspired to coordinate with each other and advance together. They were invincible all the way and won six cities in a row. .

Above the court, the common people had no way of knowing how Emperor Jingtai was furious and how civil and military officials condemned him, but they could see that more and more refugees gathered outside the city gate.

Chu Ning asked Fang Shengyu, "If one day you have to leave here, where will your family go?"

Fang Shengyu shook his head, "I don't know, maybe I will go to Jiangnan. My uncle has some contacts there, but if the world is in chaos, Jiangnan may not be a pure land, and now that bandits are everywhere, the road may not be peaceful...

Alas, I think it’s better not to move if you can’t move. There is no place to stay at home safely. "

Chu Ning naturally agrees with this idea, after all, who wants to wander around when they can live in peace.

"Hey? Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of wealthy families in this county. Martial law has been in place for so long, and even without outsiders, the business of foreign goods stores is still booming, making a lot of money.

There is also our sweetheart time. No matter what new products are launched, they can be sold out in one go. In this cold weather, those people don’t feel too cold. They line up outside the door early in the morning, and candy for ten taels of silver Dude, you can grab it as soon as you open, tsk, tsk, you are really rich. "

Fang Shengyu didn't take it seriously, "Linyong County looks quite ordinary, but it is a necessary place for entering Beijing from the south..."

Chu Ning's face changed drastically, "The geographical location is so important?"

Seeing her face as if facing a formidable enemy, Fang Shengyu couldn't help becoming nervous, "County Wu is from the Marquis of Changwei..."

Chu Ning was surprised at first, why she suddenly mentioned Wu county magistrate, but soon she understood, "You mean the current queen's surname is Wu?"

"Yes, Empress Wu is the eldest daughter of the old marquis."

"Then, the county magistrate of Wu belongs to the prince's faction?"

"……Yes."

Fang Shengyu turned his head to look at Chu Ning, and Chu Ning also looked at him, and was speechless for a moment.

When taking a bath the next day, Chu Ning found an excuse to avoid Fang Shengyu, and took Xiao Huihui into the mountain alone.

There was just a light snowfall at night, and the mountain road was wet and slippery, and it was very difficult to walk, especially the cliff at the back of the mountain. If you were not careful, you would roll off the cliff.

Chu Ning was furious, "Can't you find a better place to live on such a big mountain, you have to come to this wretched place..."

She was scolding fiercely, when suddenly she felt a shadow rushing towards her, which made her yell out in fright, "Little Huihui!"

Ling Xiao barely stopped, "It's me."

Chu Ning pinched his waist, "Can't you say hello before showing up?"

"sorry."

His attitude of apologizing for a second made it difficult for Chu Ning to criticize again, "I said, what kind of kung fu did you learn, why come and go silently, are you like a ghost?"

Ling Xiao looked straight at her, "Do you want to learn?"

"what?"

Chu Ning was a little moved, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "No, it's enough for me to learn some boxing skills from Master Lei."

Ling Xiao hummed lightly, "Are you... what's the matter?"

Chu Ning paused as he wiped his sweat, "Are you still counting on what you said to repay me earlier?"

"nature."
