Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 53

There was no time to bid farewell, Zhuang Xun felt a lot easier after setting up Siqin Mi.

After that, he apologized to Jiang Xiannan, told a few friends and Li Rusi about the breach of Chengdieguan, and asked her to forgive. After being forgiven, Zhuang Xun walked out of the firm.

Walking out of the business house, he walked to the caravan station, and then told He Heng and the others that he was not going to leave.

"Sir, why, King Yu hasn't confiscated you yet, so there's nothing you can't let go of when you leave." Huang Xi has read a little, but he can't understand what Zhuang Xun said to Jiang Xian, in his opinion, Zhuang Xun Now there is no conquest, and people are free.

"Sir, you are not a person who is greedy for power and position. Let's go together and leave this place of right and wrong. It just so happens that Mrs. Jiang asked our caravan to go together. It is said that this place will definitely be chaotic."

He Heng couldn't understand either, and tried his best to persuade Zhuang Xun, but Zhuang Xun was a strange person, and it seemed that nothing was strange about him doing anything.

"There are always some things that must be persisted." Zhuang Xun is not as righteous as he said to Jiang Xianwei to these friends and brothers, and he can't just sell Li Rusi directly. As for the words of the old Taoist priest, he said When he comes out, everyone will think he is crazy.

It can only be said to be ambiguous, he is mainly for the official title, he is really greedy for power and position, because if he is not greedy, he will die in the future, if he is greedy, there is still a chance of life.

"You can't persevere with your life, Brother Xiaoxun, if you don't leave, I won't leave either, Lao Luo." Luo Yuecheng clasped his hands and sat down on the bench, wanting to repay Zhuang Xun for saving his mother.

"What nonsense, you are here to accompany me. If you die, who will take care of the old lady, as well as Brother He, sister-in-law and sister-in-law are waiting for you to go back, Lanzhi is going to Chengguo, even though Mrs. Jiang is invited Take care, but it's not very safe, you should help take care of it." Zhuang Xun pushed Luo Yuecheng and asked He Heng at the same time.

Both of these two have family members in Chengguo. If they don't go back, their families will lose their livelihood. He will not let these two stay with him.

"I don't have a family, so I'll stay and protect my husband." Huang Xi laughed and said, he could eat enough for one person and the whole family wouldn't be hungry.

"Did you forget that you still want to trouble that couple?" Zhuang Xun asked back, Huang Xi's goal is to get revenge in the future, revenge on that couple whose family was ruined is his obsession.

"I'm not someone who likes sacrificing other people's goals and families. Knowing that after the breakthrough of Chengdie Pass, you can also expect the chaos in Yindu. You said it yourself just now, so you all should leave Yindu today." Zhuang Xun persuaded the three people leave.

Zhuang Xun felt that he was not suitable to be king and contend for hegemony, because he didn't want to harm his friends. He knew that if he asked, these three people would definitely stay to help him, protect him, and improve his survival rate, but he didn't want to do that.

This was a big gamble that he made his own decision. He didn't want to implicate others. After all, if he lost the bet, he might die, so there was no need to implicate others.

Some people think otherwise.

"No, I want to stay. If something happens to my husband this time, I, Huang Xi, won't be happy even if I have the chance to kill two sluts at the end. Besides, the country of Yu is in chaos, and I can go back to my hometown to kill those dogs. The men and women are slaughtered, and I want to stay." Huang Xi said firmly, with a firm attitude, he really wanted 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, Huang Xi, who had no family, stayed with him to take care of him, maybe it was fine.

He was also afraid that Huang Xi would really stay and seek revenge on his enemies. Huang Xi is not strong now, and he doesn't know whether to take revenge or send his head back.

So Zhuang Xun nodded his head to dissuade him and said, "That's right, but it's still dangerous to take advantage of the chaos to kill people. Let's see when the time comes."

"I want to too..." Luo Yuecheng really wanted to say that I would stay too, but Zhuang Xun stared at him, and he couldn't speak.

"Second brother He, go to Chengguo first and wait to meet me. In fact, in the end, when Yuguo falls, Xun will also go to Chengguo. Now there is a reason for Xun to stay in Yuguo." Zhuang Xun said thoroughly, otherwise why not Heng will also stay, according to his understanding of He Heng.

"Okay, since Mister said that, Heng will wait for Mister in Chengguo." He Heng showed a tangled face, and finally agreed with a wry smile. He really couldn't understand Zhuang Xun's train of thought. Is the country still saved?

You must know that there is a large plain between Chengdie Pass and Yindu, and there is almost no danger to defend it. This is also the reason why everyone judged that if Chengdie Pass was breached, Yu State would perish.

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 has a temper that doesn't like to drag others down. Even if he took the initiative to stay, he would be chased away by Zhuang Xun. Now Zhuang Xun has given him a step down.

"Huang Xi, you have to take good care of Mr. Zhuang! Count me and Ah Luo as a debtor to you." The guilty He Heng could only tell Huang Xi, since Zhuang Xun didn't want them to stay.

"Of course I know. I don't need Brother He to say that I know. I lived my life before, but now I must protect my husband with all my might."

Huang Xi showed an excited expression. This was the first time he had the opportunity to repay Zhuang Xun's life-saving grace. The previous Zhuang Xun never gave them such an opportunity. His repayment was very serious, that is, he was very loyal.

After the discussion was settled, Zhuang Xun bid farewell to several people, and watched the caravan with Si Qinmi leave Yindu, feeling relieved.

At least he knew that Chengdie Pass had been breached, and the chaos in Yin Du would not affect Si Qinmi anymore.

When he got home, he was still a little unaccustomed to the empty house. It had been less than a month, but it felt like it had been years. He was very reluctant to part with Si Qinmi. She lost her voice when he returned home, and he felt a lot lonely. Madam Nuo is sleeping, feeling like she won't be able to sleep tonight.

Picking up the unfinished embroidery, brushing his fingers over the blue bird that was outlined, Zhuang Xun smiled, Si Qinmi seemed to be a little obsessed, maybe she didn't want to lose to Mrs. Jiang in terms of skills.

There are traces of Si Qin Mi everywhere in the room, calligraphy and paintings, notes, silk clothes, and some books she bought, Zhuang Xun played with each one in his hand.

Recalling how Si Qin Mi made it like this, she showed a faint smile. The gentle elder sister and wife captured his heart. This month can be regarded as the most comfortable month he has lived in this world.

Because of the support, I thought of staying and giving it a go.

In the evening, some Huang Xi came with his luggage and bought a little wine. The two drank together. The food reserves were enough, and they were waiting for Yin Du to know the news that Chengdie Pass had been breached.

"Sir, did Youguo really break through Chengdie Pass?" Huang Xi still couldn't believe it.

The sanctity 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 with a frontal attack.

"Ms. Jiang has escaped. What do you think, without definite news, she will leave in such a hurry." Zhuang Xun took a drink, and the news that Chengdiguan was broken need not be questioned, it has been confirmed.

Distilled alcohol already exists, but the less intoxicating alcohol is mainly popular. After all, drunken and slightly drunk are opposites in culture.

"That's right, sir, you said that even Yin knows what the news will turn into." Huang Xi sipped his wine, tearing off a piece of meat and said.

"First of all, the dignitaries will run away. You country's army has the habit of killing people. These people are willing to run away, and then ordinary people, like the Xu family, who have a little money will also run away. Only the poor can't escape. If the rich escape, Yin will become dilapidated, all aspects will be affected, and various public security problems will arise. When the army of You arrives, it is estimated that they will surrender the city directly, but there will still be some killings." Zhuang Xun speculated. .

Accompanied by a series of impacts of skyrocketing prices, and maybe a coup d'état, Yindu has become uninhabitable anyway.

"So how long are we going to stay in such a chaotic place? Sir, do you really want to wait for Yu to surrender before you leave?" Huang Xi thought for a while, and could imagine the chaos and chaos.

"Look, maybe not." Zhuang Xun shook his head, eating the braised pork that had been prepared.

He's not a fool either, he had to wait until the You country's army hit Yin Du before running away.

"I don't understand what Mr. thinks. I know it's good to support Mr. He is a good person." Huang Xi said cheerfully.

"I'm not a good person, I'm just an ordinary person with a better heart." Zhuang Xun has never thought of himself as a good person. It's hard to say that he is greedy for money, but lust is a must.

"If the world were filled with ordinary people like Mr., the world might be unified." Huang Xi smiled, not believing Zhuang Xun's words.

"You stay here this time. If you are lucky enough to survive, I will help you avenge yourself." Zhuang Xun reciprocated. If he can get the position of Jiedu Youshi of Hebei Province this time, Yu Guo can keep it again. He is fully capable of helping Huang Xi redressed his grievances.

"Then don't bother me sir, as long as you give me Huang Xi a chance to show off, I will take care of that couple." Huang Xi is also a bit arrogant, and the important thing is that he didn't do it himself, so the hatred in his heart cannot be dispelled. .

"Forget it, as long as you are happy." Looking up at the moon, I felt that it was meaningless. The moon is not perfect, and people are not perfect.

The two of them also drank dull wine, Zhuang Xun felt unwell, so he went back to his room and fell asleep, and fell asleep until he didn't know how long.

It was startled by the noise, the chickens were flying and the dogs were jumping, and the sun at noon in autumn was also quite poisonous, and people's mood was even hotter.

Chengdieguan was breached, and the news came from the front line at a high speed. What is the shock of the government and the field? This is called the shock of the government and the field.

Upon hearing the news, the officials who went to court even planned to turn around and leave, and hurried home to pack their bags and prepare to run.

When the court meeting ended, the news naturally spread to the grassroots, and then the whole Yindu fell into a state of floating hearts.

Pack it up, pack it up, and get away.

Countless people repeated the same action.

Yin Du is no longer safe. Apart from the strong city, there is nothing to rely on. Everyone even subconsciously thinks that the Cheng-Yu Allied Forces have lost. Anyway, the country is hopeless, and they are waiting for You Country to come to sweep the autumn leaves.

Zhuang Xun and the others didn't go out, they had food reserves, and they sat and watched the chaos happen, people fled one by one, the market price changed, and the price of rice hit a new high, and they were still in peace.

The next day, Xu's family knocked on the door and invited him to take refuge together, but he refused.

Zhuang Xun can now be sure that the Xu family probably really doesn't know the ghost things that Xu Houde did, otherwise it would be impossible to invite him to seek refuge when the Yu country was about to perish.

The Xu family looked very guilty, especially this time Mrs. Chen came, and felt that she really wanted to make up for Zhuang Xun, but Zhuang Xun had his own ideas and naturally refused.

On the third day, perhaps the Xu family had left, and Second Uncle Xu, who represented the order, was gone. There was news of a lot of people being stolen in Xufang, and there were robbers and robberies, and there was even a murder case. exacerbated the confusion.

Realizing that Xu Fang was not safe, Zhuang Xun called Huang Xi, took gold and silver, and went to the bustling Dongcheng to stay at an inn.

The streets became desolate, and there were fewer people. Those who could evacuate went out, and those who could not evacuated also hid at home and were unwilling to come out.

The news was also chaotic. Some said that the Youjun cavalry had already reached the Yindu Mansion, and some said that the Youjun was pulling out the city along the road and had already occupied two roads. People were panicked, and the herd effect was even more obvious.

Staying in Yindu, there are only those who can't run away and those who are bold. The innkeeper is a bold person. After all, he is the only one in the entire East City who is still open for business.

The imperial army took over the night and imposed a curfew. Zhuang Xun felt much more secure. Perhaps it was because of this sense of security that he gave him a big job.

When you meet robbers, in broad daylight, masked bandits, and there are forbidden troops at night, well, just rob during the day.

I can really feel the feeling that the country will not be the country. A dozen big men robbed a downtown inn during the day like this. The innkeeper's face turned green, and he might be regretting why he didn't escape.

It was the first time for Zhuang Xun to see this kind of scene, he was so stupid, it was not about the king's law, anyway, this group of people wanted money but not their lives, so he just treated it as a waste of money to eliminate disasters.

The big money was taken away by Si Qin Mi, and all the small money was left behind, but it was also very distressing, it was money, it was money.

Now, the only inn can't stay any longer, so I can only go back to Xufang. I always feel that I have just left the Longtan and entered the tiger's den.

"Sir, why don't we go to Chengguo." Huang Xi was persuaded. No one can stand up to this kind of gang committing crimes, especially when the government doesn't act. He is only proficient in martial arts. He can handle two or three. There is no other way.

"It's getting late now, and we'll leave tomorrow." It's been four or five days, and there is no news of the reversal. The most important thing is that the money is gone.

He thought it would be very chaotic, but he never expected it to be like this. Only then can he realize the true meaning that a chaotic world does not follow people's wishes, and that a human life is not as good as a dog.

Even at the end of the day, Zhuang Xun regretted not leaving earlier. This is a normal human reaction, but there is no medicine for regret in life. When making a choice, one must bear the consequences and risks of the choice.

"Zhuang Xiaolian, I'm sorry, someone bought your life." Back home, more than ten masked strong men came out of the house and surrounded Zhuang Xun and Huang Xi.

"I will not resist buying my life, can you let my companion go." Zhuang Xun looked at the boyish Huang Xi and regretted it even more.
