A bloody storm is about to come.
Xuejia Village is located southeast of the capital, close to the south of the Yangtze River. It has a vast terrain and the people live in a comfortable and prosperous environment with neither floods nor droughts.
Perhaps they would feel lucky that there were no disasters from both sides here, but Zhang You knew that Qiao Si would never give up so easily.
When Princess Qiao died, she was still young and had to endure in the capital. But now Qiao San is dead, and Prince Qiao is also dead. There is no one in the world who can imprison her anymore, and she must take revenge on the dog emperor.
I'm afraid that the drought and unrest in Dingzhou are also related to her.
If this is true, I am afraid that it will not be long before this place becomes a place for them to fight, and this place will not escape the fate of being implicated.
Zhang You thought it over and tactfully explained the matter to Madam Xue and the others. She knew she couldn't mention Qiao Si and his men, so she simply explained that there were refugees in both the north and south, and there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be refugees coming here. If they were robbed, it would be an unprovoked disaster.
It would be better to go west, cross the capital, and hide in Tuozhou for a while.
Mrs. Xue was a clever woman. When she rescued Zhang You, she had a vague idea that she was not ordinary. Moreover, there had been a lot of rumors in the town in recent days, all talking about the refugees in the north and south. She knew that Zhang You was right, so she discussed it with her husband and decided to go with Zhang You.
A few days later, Zhang You and Mrs. Xue's family rented a car, packed their luggage, and left Xuejia Village, saying they were going to visit relatives.
Zhang You never thought that Madam Xue would trust her so much. After just listening to what she said, she was willing to give up everything here and follow her to leave the village where she had lived for half her life for an unknown reason.
A few days later, they arrived in Tuozhou and rented a house in a beautiful town, living next to each other.
Zhang You had some jewelry on her when she fell into the water. When she was in Xuejia Village, she wanted to give it to Madam Xue as a reward for saving her life, but Madam Xue refused. Zhang You then used the money she earned as a reward.
Except for the hairpin and sword that Chunhua left for her, Zhang You pawned all the others, which was just enough to pay the rent for the house.
Zhang You from Tuozhou has been here before.
But she had only been to Caiguang Town at that time.
The place where they live now is called Qingxi Town. It has mountains and water, and it is a good place.
Zhang You knew that after Qiao Si secretly went to deal with Yang Li, he would definitely send someone to take over Tuozhou. With her people to govern, Tuozhou would not be as chaotic as before, so she brought Madam Xue and her family here to avoid disaster.
Now that summer had arrived, Zhang You had returned to her old ways, as she didn't have much money. Although there was a bank in town where she had deposited her dividends from working for Qiao Er, she had decided to end her relationship with them and decided not to risk being exposed.
But she could make a small profit during the summer.
The summer is long and Qingxi Town is very peaceful.
When the long-closed trade was reopened, news from the outside world finally came in.
It was exactly as Zhang You expected.
The world outside has changed and dynasties have been replaced.
It was said that this new emperor was a mysterious figure. He was incompetent and incompetent, allowing disasters to plague the people in the north and south without any action. He even secretly abandoned the city with his concubine when refugees from Haizhou poured into the capital. The officials in the capital were left to deal with the refugees, and many of the powerful and influential people in the capital lost their lives in the riots.
The prince's intervention failed to resolve the situation, but instead aroused the people's anger. At this moment, the new emperor, with a large army, suppressed the rioting refugees with lightning speed. He then naturally entered the Eastern Palace and changed the country's name to Taiping.
Perhaps it was destiny that all the ministers in the capital submitted to him. Under his leadership, the unrest in various places was suppressed within half a month, and he also sent people to provide support to the north and south with supplies obtained from somewhere unknown.
His appearance was like the coming of a saint, bringing stability to the world, and the people respectfully called him Emperor Mingshan.
Zhang You heard the person they were talking about, but she couldn't match him with the person she remembered.
Could it be that Qiao Si has other collaborators?
How could anyone have such courage?
Zhang You had imagined the scenario after Qiao Si's successful rebellion, but she had thought of Qiao Si becoming the empress, and had not thought that the person who would eventually ascend the throne would be someone she didn't know.
But she was still very curious about what happened to the dog emperor in the end.
But these walking vendors knew very little. They only knew that the Dog Emperor had escaped with his beloved concubine, but they didn't know where he had escaped to.
This also became a strange thing in their mouths.
And from what they said, Zhang You had never even heard of Qiao Si.
Zhang You had even heard them talk about how Emperor Mingshan broke into the capital and how Wei Nian was a wise man who followed the new emperor eight hundred times, but there was no sign of any other familiar people.
But thankfully, the matter was settled, and things were settled outside. When Zhang You asked Madam Xue if they wanted to go back, Madam Xue just smiled and said they wouldn't be going back for now, saying they would go back whenever they wanted to. After all, the world was peaceful now, so they didn't have to worry too much.
The summer in Qingxi Town is not that hot, probably because it is close to the river. It is a good place to escape the summer heat.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Zhang You reunited with his old friends here.
They originally thought they would never see each other again, but they didn't expect to meet again here.
As usual, when Zhang You set up a stall to sell the last batch of rouge for the summer, she met Yu Sheng who was shopping there.
After a few years, Zhang You almost didn't recognize her. If it weren't for her outstanding beauty, she would definitely not have recognized her.
After not seeing her for a few years, Yu Sheng has become more beautiful. Back in Dingzhou, she used to hide herself and deliberately make herself ugly, but now she openly puts on exquisite makeup and dresses up very beautifully.
"Xia He?"
When Zhang You suddenly heard her calling his old name, he took a moment to react. Only when he met her eyes did he smile and excitedly say, "Yu Sheng! Long time no see!"
Meeting an old friend after a long time, Zhang You closed his stall and specially found a small pub to meet her.
"Yu Sheng, we haven't seen each other for several years. I didn't expect you to recognize me first? Oh? Where's Teacher Xiao Yu? Why can't I see her?"
Yu Sheng, who was originally happy about the reunion, now felt depressed: "Master, she has passed away..."
"How could it be? Teacher Xiaoyu is so young?" Zhang You stopped drinking half of her tea, put down the cup, and asked in confusion.
"Master had a chronic illness for many years, and he lived a few more years because of Miss Qiao Er. She was in poor health to begin with, so I moved to Jiangnan with her. Jiangnan has beautiful scenery and is suitable for recuperation. But after so many years, Master still... passed away..." Yu Sheng was full of regret when he mentioned Teacher Xiao Yu.
