When he learned that King Kang's fiefdom was in the northwest, Chu Ning breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's quite far away. It shouldn't harm us."
Fang Shengyu shook his head, "It's impossible to say. Kang Tian dared to risk the world's greatness and rebel openly. He must have something to rely on. Maybe he has secretly colluded with other vassal kings. When the time is right, they will attack the capital together.
Attack and seize the throne."
Chu Ning frowned when he heard this, "According to what you said, wouldn't it be possible for war to break out everywhere?"
If there were wars everywhere, wouldn't it be a chaotic world?
She finally settled down here and lived a comfortable life, but she was faced with troubled times and her family could be destroyed at any time. This was too embarrassing.
"Yes, the world is going to be in chaos."
Fang Shengyu also frowned, "I heard from eldest brother that refugees have already appeared in Fucheng. I'm afraid we will have them here in a few days. I'm afraid there will be chaos in the public order. You sisters, be careful when you come in and out in the future, and don't go out if nothing happens.
…”
"Refugee?"
Chu Ning looked puzzled, "It's spring now. There are wild vegetables to satisfy our hunger. It's better than the days in winter. At least we won't die of hunger. As long as we persist and wait for the wheat to mature, life will be easier in the future. Why do we have to leave our hometown and move around?"
Wandering."
It was a rare occasion when she didn't understand. Fang Shengyu thought it was strange, "If there is a way to survive, who would be willing to leave their hometown? They must have left because they couldn't survive at home."
Seeing that Chu Ning still couldn't figure it out, he explained it in detail, "...Whether it's military conscription or grain and tax collection, it will overwhelm an already poor family, so..."
Fang Shengyu didn't say any more, but Chu Ning already understood. She sighed quietly, "So you must never live in troubled times~"
Fang Shengyu......
Suddenly I didn't know what to say.
After a moment of silence, Chu Ning asked, "Is the news from your family accurate?"
Fang Shengyu shook his head, "Our family only runs a small business. How can we find out about the outside world? We all hear such news..."
A figure suddenly flashed in his mind, and his eyes lit up immediately, "Huh? How could I forget him?"
"who?"
"Wu Xibin, Mr. Wu."
On that day, Chu Ning was very disgusted with Wu Xibin's attitude of being a master of the sky. He felt that this man was inexplicably and seriously ill. Only later did he find out his identity. He couldn't help but said in his heart that it was strange.
As for the son of the county magistrate, with his status, it is indeed reasonable for him to argue the right and wrong for them.
"My senior has been stable since he was a child and loves to learn. The gentlemen often praise his homework..."
When it came to Wu Xibin, Fang Shengyu had something to say. He said it endlessly, which made Chu Ning frown.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
She said, "You're off topic."
"Oh, oh, yes, that's far."
After receiving a look from Chu Ning, Fang Shengyu wiped his nose sarcastically, "The imperial court has official reports. Important matters or orders are sent to all prefectures and counties through the inn..."
"Does this mean that Mr. Wu can learn about what's going on outside as soon as possible?"
"Exactly."
Chu Ning asked, "What's your relationship with Mr. Wu? Is it possible to directly inquire about the court affairs with him? Don't let others misunderstand you as having bad intentions and get caught as a spy, right?"
Fang Shengyu looked at her magically, "I have a rich imagination, but do you think I look like a spy?"
"...I'm not afraid of Mr. Wu. Oh, no, it's because Magistrate Wu is overthinking it. It doesn't matter that I have a rich imagination. It would be troublesome if the Magistrate has a rich imagination."
Hearing what she said, Fang Shengyu raised the corners of his lips happily, "Don't worry, we are all our own people, there are not so many roundabout ways."
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows.
The Fang family is really not simple.
"Fang Shengyu, if, I mean if, the flames of war really come to us, what will your family do? Well, will they go south to avoid trouble?"
Fang Shengyu shook his head, "It's hard to say."
The foundation of their family is here, and they won't leave unless they have to.
"The Jiangnan area looks good now, but no one can predict what will happen in the future. Don't make a decision in a hurry. Let's take a look at the situation first.
Well, now there is only chaos in the northwest, and it won’t be here for a while, but don’t worry too much, maybe King Kang won’t be able to accomplish anything, and he will be suppressed by the court soon..."
After nagging to comfort Chu Ning and discussing matters in the store, Fang Shengyu hurriedly left. He wanted to find Wu Xibin. That guy would accompany his little green plum around when he had time. It was not good.
Arrest someone.
He had to hurry. If the two of them left the city, it would be even harder to find them.
After seeing off Fang Shengyu, Chu Ning stopped sleeping. After a simple meal, he went to the car shop to rent a carriage, then came back to pick up Xiao Huihui and headed straight to the west of the city.
Speaking of which, little Huihui has been kept in captivity since I moved here. This was the first time she went out. She was so happy that she kept thrusting into Chu Ning's arms, so strong that she almost lifted her.
turn.
"Okay, okay, I know you are happy, so there is no need to be so excited."
Chu Ning touched it funnyly, "Don't run around or scream for a while, so as not to be seen by others, you know?"
Xiao Huihui rubbed her affectionately, then snuggled up to her obediently and closed her eyes to sleep, without making any more trouble with her.

"Kang Kang rebelled?"
Yan Wenjin was startled after receiving the news.
King Kang in his previous life also rebelled, but not now, but a year later.
He originally thought that there was still time and he would not have to worry about the northwest affairs for the time being, but he did not expect that he would rebel in advance.
"Sir, do we want to go back?"
"No reply."
Yan Wenjin replied simply, but thinking of Mrs. Yan and Chu Ning, he continued, "Ask General Yang to send a team of people to station in Linyong, and then tell Wu Jiazhen to close the city gate directly if there is danger."
"yes."
Changfeng respectfully agreed and started to do it immediately.
As soon as he left, Changqing walked in with an anxious expression, "Sir, Princess Zhaoqing has snatched the little matchmaker away."
Hearing this, Yan Wenjin, who had always been calm and composed, changed his face greatly, "When did it happen?"
"Just now, the little one took the little matchmaker for a walk in the back garden, and happened to meet Princess Zhaoqing. When she saw the little matchmaker, she tried to rob her without saying a word. The little one didn't dare to argue with her, so he could only watch her take the little matchmaker.
The matchmaker took her away."
Princess Zhaoqing, Gong Zhiling, was the only sister of the Western monarch Gong Zhiyan. Needless to say, she had a noble status. However, what made Chang Qing fearful was not her noble birth, but her illness.
Gong Zhiling suffered a palace coup when she was a child and almost died. It was the loyal servants around her who desperately saved her and she survived. However, due to being overly frightened, she was left with a hidden disease. She usually looked fine, healthy and lively.
Girls, once stimulated, will lose control of their emotions and go crazy hysterically.
So Changqing didn't dare to provoke her.
"Where is the official banquet?"
Because Gong Zhi Ling had this problem, Yan Wenjin hid whenever she could, and when she couldn't avoid it, she moved to Gong Zhi's banquet.
