The two quickly got down to business.
Xie Zhun said that the exile to the wilderness was indeed premeditated, and the court's counterattack was within expectations.
Since he had already anticipated that the imperial court would crack down on all his businesses, leaving him no way out, he naturally wouldn't take all his money with him and wait for the government to confiscate it...
He said that what he had left with his mentor Xiude was just a drop in the ocean, and the bulk of it was still in Beijing.
However, it had already changed its appearance, and the court officials could not trace it.
Ning Xi'er understood that in the end, he would definitely have to return to his birthplace, the place where his parents grew up.
It's just a matter of time.
Ning Xi'er also believed that even if things went wrong and Xie Zhun did not return to the capital for the time being, he could still start a new business, and the remaining businesses in the capital could be used as start-up capital at any time.
Xie Zhun held Ning Xi'er's hand and said, "But there's one thing I didn't expect: they would be so heartless and cruel, treating ordinary people like dirt!"
Ning Xi'er squeezed his hand back and comforted him, "That's true. It just shows that they've run out of tricks and that's all the methods they can use."
Perhaps Xie Zhun really falls for her charms; if Ning Xi'er soothes him, Xie Zhun will calm down.
Xie Zhun predicted that the imperial court would concentrate its efforts on suppressing Xiude County, and that the money and materials prepared by his mentor Wei Xunfang would not be able to be taken out unless something unexpected happened.
Moreover, the imperial court would set up numerous obstacles in Pingyuan, preventing them from passing through smoothly and ideally delaying them beyond the two-month deadline, thus providing a reason to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Even if they overcome the obstacles and successfully reach the wasteland, it will become their Achilles' heel, trapping them there to their deaths.
"Well, they're really dreaming!"
Ning Xi'er said disdainfully.
Since the return of the medical space and the armory, Ning Xi'er's true nature has been greatly unleashed...
The bad guy may seem arrogant, but Xie Zhun knows that it's confidence and a well-thought-out plan.
"Just tell me what you need me to do!"
Ning Xi'er said directly.
Xie Zhun discussed with her, "When fighting the enemy, it's almost like playing your cards with your back to the table; it all comes down to who has the foresight..."
Ning Xi'er agrees.
"Based on what I've seen and heard these past few days, I'm afraid the journey to Xiude won't be peaceful either. I'm considering something like this; what do you think of it...?"
After discussing it for a while, Xie Zhun gained a new understanding of Ning Xi'er.
When I first met Ning Xi'er, I felt that she was different from ordinary young ladies, and had a kind of free and easy personality.
But the more he got to know her, the more he discovered that she was straightforward and easygoing, decisive and efficient in her work, and had a simple and honest side that he liked, as well as a smart side that he admired and appreciated.
In the past, he made all the important decisions, and although he didn't find it mentally taxing, he handled them with ease...
But this time, discussing it with Ning Xi'er, we discovered new fun.
It can enhance mutual understanding, allow you to follow the other person's line of thinking, and help you notice traits that the other person doesn't usually show...
Talking with Ning Xi'er, he didn't need to spell it out; she could understand him in just a few words. This tacit understanding gave him a feeling he had never experienced before.
In short, Xie Zhun was overjoyed and pleasantly surprised.
Qin Yuan rested for a while before being invited back into Xie Zhun's tent.
After a brief discussion, Qin Yuan, with a solemn expression, took the reins and prepared to set off.
Since it was anticipated that this place would lead to Xiudebu Taiping, and knowing how important Qin Yuan and Wei Xunfang were to Xie Zhun...
Before leaving, Ning Xi'er handed Qin Yuan two bottles of pills and a water bag filled with spiritual spring liquid.
"One bottle contains antidote pills, and the other contains life-extending pills. I added medicinal powder to the water sac, which has both curative and detoxifying effects."
"In case of an emergency, as long as they are brought to me with some pills or medicine, barely clinging to life, I can save them..."
Qin Yuan clasped his hands in thanks, then spurred his horse and galloped away.
As it turns out, Ning Xi'er's donation of medicine and water pouches was incredibly wise.
Xie Zhun discussed with Ning Xi'er and planned to use Ning Xi'er's transport plane to send the person to Xiude under cover of night.
Firstly, Pingyuan is currently under the control of the Crown Prince's faction;
Secondly, Pingyuan is right at the entrance to the wasteland. The transport planes are large and noisy, which could easily arouse suspicion from the personnel stationed in Pingyuan and the wasteland...
It was unwise to invite a large-scale crackdown by the imperial court before the matter was even settled.
Thirdly, Xiude is currently in a difficult situation, but the county magistrate is of one mind with Wei Xunfang, and the villagers have not yet fled, so there is still room for negotiation.
Fourth, the decision not to consider other counties as alternatives was made in an effort to minimize the impact on the people of other counties.
They rarely go together again, and like Xuanming, they commit heinous acts such as poisoning water sources and spraying pesticides on grasslands...
The imperial court should also do less...
Ning Xi'er's transport plane is available at any time; it will simply allow everyone to "sleep" for a while.
The best course of action now is to wait for Qin Yuan to return with a message, then ask Wei Xunfang and the county magistrate to choose a suitable, open location and create a disturbance within a radius of several hundred meters...
This is the only way to mask the noise from transport planes flying and parking.
As for the existence of the transport plane, Xie Zhun did not tell Qin Yuan, nor did he intend to reveal it to his mentor Wei Xunfang.
Since he had made this arrangement, Wei Xunfang knew his abilities and naturally had no doubts.
With the toxins in Xie Zhun's body mostly cleared, Ning Xi'er instructed Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian to continue massaging Xie Zhun while she prepared an internal medicine for him.
Everyone rested on the spot, enjoying their last moments of drinking and merriment.
Three days later, Zheng Ye hurriedly reported that Qin Yuan had returned.
Xie Zhun was slightly taken aback. "Why don't you invite him in?"
Ning Xi'er glanced at Zheng Ye, who looked flustered.
"He collapsed several hundred meters away, was spotted by the sentry, and they wouldn't let us get close..."
