Several groups of people took action at the same time, and Yunrou County was in a state of panic.
Chi Xingyue sat in the study feeling uneasy. Those young masters all went home with pale faces under the protection of their servants.
Even the horse owner just left an address and left.
Boss Liu planned to close the business, but he didn't say anything because of Chi Xingyue and Hongyu's face.
Chi Xingyue didn't intend to make things difficult for him. He borrowed a pen and paper, wrote a note in secret, and took Hongyu to Ruyi Tower.
Inside the carriage, Chi Xingyue sent the note into the space, aiming directly at the static space designated for Ling Jiheng.
The note read: "Dear, Hongyu and I are going back to the village first. Please be careful. If you need anything, please leave me a message."
Ling Jiheng, who was chasing the enemy, felt the space trembling. He glanced around distractedly, quietly took out the note, and then put it back.
Turning the note over, Chi Xingyue understood that it had been read and was safe.
The ox cart was moving on the wide road. There were no small vendors along the way, and the shops on both sides of the road were closed as much as possible.
Chi Xingyue didn't know whether Ruyi Tower was closed or not. There were so many things in the car, so he had to go over and take a look.
Hongyu was somewhat reluctant, but still obediently drove the ox cart to Ruyi Tower.
The door was open, but there was not a single customer.
Shopkeeper Peng sat at the door and sighed. When he saw Chi Xingyue coming, he felt unmotivated.
Chi Xingyue didn't waste any time talking to him and asked directly, "Shopkeeper Peng, do you want more dishes today?"
Shopkeeper Peng doesn't want it.
After the incident this morning, business has visibly declined. It's unclear how many days it will take to recover.
But the Ling family has a wide variety of vegetables, and they are fresh and tender. If you don’t want them today, the store will be out of vegetables for the next few days, which will be a loss.
He sighed and said weakly, "Bring it here!"
Ask the waiter to help move the vegetables and take them to the backyard to weigh them.
After a moment, Shopkeeper Peng counted out two taels and three qian of silver and asked, "Why did you come here alone today?"
Chi Xingyue chuckled: "My husband is here too. He has something to do and is busy somewhere else."
Shopkeeper Peng said "Oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
Chi Xingyue didn't spend much time in the county, and went straight to the city gate with Hongyu.
I found that the security here was much stricter than before, and identification had to be verified for everyone entering or leaving.
No entry or exit is allowed without a valid reason.
The two women, Chi Xingyue and Hongyu, were extremely conspicuous among the group of carriages and horses.
The soldiers guarding the city carefully checked the identity documents of the two men, glanced at the carriage, and then let them leave.
He also reminded: "Don't come to the county if you have nothing to do recently, and be careful on the road."
Chi Xingyue thanked him gratefully, then ran away with Hongyu.
After getting rid of several suspicious carriages, they finally met Ling Jiu and Ling Shi who came to support them at the village entrance.
"Madam, you are back. Where is the master?"
"Something happened in the county and it won't be resolved soon, so Hongyu and I came back first."
Looking at the familiar village, Chi Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief and spoke weakly.
His body felt weak, he was covered in cold sweat, and his face was pale.
Ling Jiu thought she had heatstroke and hurriedly shouted that he wanted to send them home.
Chi Xingyue declined politely: "Go and help your master. I'm fine. I can just go back slowly with Hongyu."
The two nodded and ran towards the county town.
Chi Xingyue didn't care about anything else and collapsed in the carriage, relaxing his mind and feeling extremely tired.
I was swaying and actually fell asleep.
When the old lady learned the whole story, her heart ached.
I was afraid that something might happen to Ling Jiheng, and I felt sorry for Chi Xingyue who had experienced life and death at such a young age.
She told everyone not to disturb her, let her sleep, and come to Rongsiyuan for dinner after she woke up.
With no one to hold her, Chi Xingyue really slept in the carriage for more than half an hour.
Fortunately, it was cloudy today and the temperature was not very high, otherwise she would have suffered from heat stroke.
Time passed little by little, and Chi Xingyue woke up from her sleep and smelled the fragrance of food.
I felt a little hungry and wanted to get up, but found that my hands and feet were numb.
Also my neck and shoulders are stiff and painful when I move.
Baozhu heard the noise and hurried over to give her a massage.
Chi Xingyue took a moment to relax and then was able to move freely.
After getting off the bus and going to Rongsiyuan, I told the old lady about the things happening in the county, and then picked up a bowl of fragrant sauerkraut and shredded pork noodles and started eating.
"Don't worry, grandma, my husband will be fine!" Seeing the old lady's worry, Chi Xingyue wiped her mouth and comforted her.
The old lady was not appeased at all. She sighed and asked, "Why is he showing off? I'm just an ordinary citizen. How can I get involved in such a big event?"
Chi Xingyue was also helpless, but Ling Jiheng was the big villain. In the world of villains, how could one stay out of it?
Even she, a girl who traveled through a book, was swept up by the consciousness of heaven to correct the plot.
There are many things that you can't avoid just because you want to.
The group was silent, which made Chi Xingyue feel embarrassed to eat.
It was only when the old lady reacted and deliberately changed the subject that the room became a little more relaxed and cheerful.
After finishing a bowl of noodles quickly, Chi Xingyue felt full.
He caught a glimpse of Gu Youlian not being there, and asked, "Where's sister-in-law? Why didn't she come out to eat?"
Geng Suhua said unhappily, "Don't worry about her. She left early in the morning without even telling me she was bringing anyone with her. Isn't she afraid of being sold into the mountains?"
I am so disappointed with my daughter-in-law.
I've tried warnings and threats, but he just won't learn and is as stubborn as a donkey.
I've been a bit more cheerful lately, but I've been running outside all day.
Geng Suhua had thought that something might be wrong with her daughter-in-law, but she sent people to follow her and asked her privately, and they found out that Gu Youlian was just wandering around the village and hadn't done anything out of the ordinary.
Chi Xingyue seemed to be lost in thought. He said goodbye to a few people and went back to the house to rest.
I tossed and turned in my 1.8-meter-tall carved bed, feeling like something was wrong.
But I couldn't tell what was wrong. I hoped it wasn't what she thought.
Time passed little by little and the sky gradually darkened.
Ling Jiheng did not send any news, and even the food and weapons that Chi Xingyue placed in the space were not touched.
Jin Bao, Ling Yi, Ling San, Ling Jiu, Ling Shi, Er Zhu and Ling Ji Yi had not returned either. In the entire blue brick and tile house, apart from the master and the servants, only Ling Wu and a few others were left on duty.
We didn’t prepare a very sumptuous meal in the evening. Everyone just had a simple bite and then went to rest.
Chi Xingyue drank the shrimp and mushroom soup that Baozhu specially prepared for her, which was quite delicious.
It’s a pity that Ling Jiheng is not here.
When Baozhu collected the bowls, Chi Xingyue reminded her, "Don't go up the mountain during this period. Try to stay at home."
Baozhu hummed, "Then shall I remind the villagers?"
Chi Xingyue chuckled: "Be vague and don't say it clearly."
Baozhu understood, bowed and left.
Chi Xingyue locked the door, blew out the oil lamp, and lay down on the soft and comfortable big bed.
I had no idea what Ling Jiheng was doing and I was actually having insomnia.
What is Ling Jiheng doing? Catching robbers.
This was a premeditated robbery aimed at disrupting the administration of Youzhou, stealing taxes and grain from Youzhou, and intimidating the people of Youzhou.
