When the sun rose again the next day, Wang Rong still didn't wake up.
She seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and outsiders had no idea how long it would take for her to wake up.
Xie Xin was thinking that maybe Wang Rong was escaping.
Escaping the reality that her father abandoned her is also escaping the reality that her father died in front of her eyes.
The reality gave her too much grief. Perhaps only in a dream could she find her long-dead mother and her kind father, and the three of them could live happily.
As for the way to wake her up, Xie Xin didn't have any.
He may be an immortal, but he cannot cure this kind of mental trauma.
Fortunately, although Wang Rong fell asleep, she could still swallow when feeding her. It was just a bit troublesome to wait on her all the time.
Xie Xin also thought that he would check for a few days and if she still didn't wake up, he could take her back to the inner courtyard and discuss with Zuo Ci to see if there was any way to wake her up.
Time flew by at seven o'clock in the morning. A manager of the Li Mansion, whom Xie Xin knew, came to Xie Xin's camp and informed them to move to a house in the suburbs.
He didn't refuse the thank you letter, and immediately ordered everyone to pack up their things and go to the house to stay together. As for the tents, they were left for the people behind to enjoy!
It took the group a whole morning to finally move their business to the house and carefully arrange a room for each person.
After everything was settled, Xie Xin briefly asked the manager what happened in Luoyang last night.
Only then did I learn that a group of bandits ransacked the uncle's house last night and killed all his family. After they were done, they cruelly set a fire and set the entire uncle's house on fire.
It was burned.
To use the manager's exact words, they are: "Those damn ones! Don't you know it's difficult to buy a house in Luoyang now? No one else will mind the house where a dead person lives, but those bandits actually burned it down because of something wrong with them!"
At the same time, Xie Xin inquired and learned that since that incident, Luoyang had increased the curfew, banned all night movements, and added more than a dozen teams of patrol soldiers.
As for who the murderer is, it is not yet known. However, everyone speculates that it should be the enemy Wang Rong provoked in the early years, at least not a random bandit who came to kill people for the sake of robbery.
Because anyone in Luoyang knows that this uncle-in-law has not been in office for long, and his family does not have much savings at all. Just for a small amount of money, which is not enough to live in, he has invested himself in it. I am afraid that if he looks at the whole world, he will also
I can't find such stupid gangsters anymore.
As for your majesty, your son-in-law, after learning about this incident, he immediately issued an order to investigate strictly and never let any bandit go.
But in Xie Xin’s ears, this order also meant ‘to silence’.
To be honest, he now feels that it is too dangerous to continue to stay in Luoyang. He is also considering that if Wang Rong has not regained consciousness in two days, he will be sent back to the inner hospital for Zuo Ci to have a good diagnosis and treatment.
Fan.
But before that, Xie Xin also had other things to do.
For example, today, he is going to visit Li Ying to ask about the alliance.
Before going out, Xie Xin ordered the students to go out as much as possible during these days. At the same time, he told a few inner disciples to take good care of Wang Rong and not to be harmed by the gangsters who sneaked in.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Xie Xin entered the city after accepting a simple interrogation at the city gate. Then a few minutes later, he arrived in front of Li Ying's house.
Probably because Li Ying had made an explanation, as soon as the concierge saw Xie Xin, he smiled and led him into the house.
After some briefings, Xie Xin entered Li Ying's room.
"Everything has been arranged?!" Before the thank you letter could say anything, Li Ying spoke first.
It's just that in this way, even though Xie Xin has a good psychological quality, he was still shocked.
There is no way, a guy who looks like he is still sleeping says something unexpectedly, and he will be startled unconsciously without being prepared.
"Yes, the student's apprentices have also settled down." Xie Xin said with his hand.
Without waiting for the thank you letter to say anything, Li Ying was the first to speak: "In the past few days, several of your partners will also arrive one after another, and the latest one will arrive in the afternoon. You may not know each other, but before the competition ends
, the relationship must be well established!”
"Since we are teammates, we must have a good relationship. Otherwise, if we lose the competition, wouldn't we lose the teacher's face?" Seeing how serious Li Ying was, Xie Xin couldn't help but make a joke.
After saying that, Xie Xin felt that the timing was just right, so he mentioned it to Li Ying: "I heard that many aristocratic families have formed an alliance for this competition?"
"Oh? Is this happening?!" Upon hearing this, Li Ying immediately asked excitedly.
"Teacher, don't you know? It is said that there should be several aristocratic families who have come to join us or to win over them!" Xie Xin couldn't help but frowned.
"I have left all these matters to my unfilial son, and I don't know what the situation is." Li Ying thought about it and said helplessly to Xie Xin.
Then, he immediately ordered his servants to ask his son Li Yong to come and ask questions.
Not long after, a young man walked in.
"Father, are you looking for me?!" As soon as Li Yong entered the door, he did not greet Xie Xin, but directly asked Li Ying.
"Well, I have something to ask you! But before that, your junior brother is here, why don't you say hello?!" Li Ying yelled.
"Didn't my son lose his temper when he heard that his father summoned him, and he was afraid that you had something urgent to explain?" Li Yong shouted resentfully, and then politely greeted Xie Xin.
"Zishou was talking about this competition before, and I learned that many aristocratic families formed an alliance in this competition. I wonder if it is or not?!" Li Yong saluted, and Li Ying didn't want to pursue it further, so he went straight to the topic.
"There is such a thing. Not long ago, many aristocratic families came to inquire whether the Li family would initiate an alliance and they would be willing to adhere to it. At the same time, the Yuan family in Runan, the Lu family in Zhuojun, and the He family in Wancheng
They all sent people over to send invitations, asking us to join their alliance." The father asked, and of course his son answered truthfully.
"So, have you decided yet?!" Li Ying asked in a low voice.
"At first, my son also had a headache between establishing an alliance and joining it, but yesterday Dr. Dong Cheng once said: 'The fourth and third Duke of the Yuan family in Runan have the most extensive connections. Even if he cannot get benefits from them, if he is provoked, he will be ignored.
If you win in the competition, you will probably suffer setbacks in your official career.'
Therefore, after my son's consideration, no matter what the ranking is this time, it is safer to join the Yuan family's alliance." Li Yong answered cautiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ying yelled: "Confused!"
Perhaps he was too excited, so he couldn't help but cough violently again.
"Father, your body must not be excited!" Li Yong panicked and immediately stepped forward to take care of him.
Xie Xin was naturally not immune to the vulgarity, and immediately stepped forward and tried to comb Li Ying's body with his true energy.
But Li Ying suppressed his cough and said to Xie Xin: "Don't forget what I said!"
In desperation, Xie Xin had no choice but to return it.
After a while, Li Ying calmed down and said softly to Li Yong: "The Yuan family has shown its glory. In fact, the current direct heir Yuan Shu and the secondary heir Yuan Shao are destined not to become great officials. The so-called Yuan family
Scenery can only last for one or two generations at most.
Moreover, the Yuan family and I have different political views and have often fought with each other in the past. To say the worst, there was never a time when people from the Yuan family were behind the party's supervision. After all, if you think about it carefully, they were not the ones who were implicated back then.
core members.
It was not easy for your father and I to establish extraordinary connections after being imprisoned by the party. In fact, they were all based on our vigilance towards the Yuan family and our dislike of the like-minded people.
If you fall into Yuan's arms now, not only will you not get any benefits, but the connections I have accumulated will also be completely destroyed by you. Do you think you are confused or not?!"
"Ah?! I didn't expect it to go so far..." Upon hearing this, Li Yong lowered his head in shame.
"You... your father used to be busy with government affairs, and he neglected to teach you, so you are now incompetent in literature and martial arts. You don't think about the problem comprehensively. This is not your fault, it is only the villains who caused trouble." Li Yong sighed.
He took a breath and said with emotion.
"Then father, what should we do for now?!" Li Yong asked sincerely.
"Zishou, what do you think?!" Li Ying didn't answer, but asked for a thank you letter.
"Disciple, can you just tell me?!" Xie Xin asked tentatively.
"What I said today will only reach the ears of the three people present, and will never be spread outside!" Li Ying said angrily.
"If I let the disciples choose, I would still prefer to join Zhuojun Lu Zhi's alliance!" Xie Xin thought for a while and directly expressed his thoughts.
"What's the explanation?!" Li Ying didn't comment and just continued to ask.
"Now the person who can raise the banner of the anti-Yuan faction and has the appeal is Lu Zigan. And according to me, many military generals such as the Anding Huangfu family and the Kuaiji Zhu family are also involved.
With the help of these military generals, even if the Yuan family wanted to cause trouble for us, they would not be able to take action.
If the alliance can gain His Majesty's appreciation because of this competition, not only will we benefit a lot, but the connections we have gained in the past will also be consolidated and expanded a lot.
And what I am most concerned about is that the Cao family of Qiao County is also in this alliance." Xie Xin expressed his opinion.
"You seem to be very interested in Cao Cao?!" Li Ying asked with interest.
"How should I say? I'm probably very curious!?" Xie Xin shrugged, "This person is a eunuch, but he is ashamed to associate with eunuchs. Except for his grandfather, he has never made friends with any favored eunuchs. He obviously has advantages, but he doesn't understand
Taking advantage of this advantage, I started from scratch and worked hard until now..."
"It's very similar to you..." Li Ying said lightly.
"Probably." Xie Xin smiled.
In fact, the same goes for Xie Xin. He is obviously a disciple of Li Ying. As long as the relationship is good, he can now be a county governor like Gongsun Sheng. If he cooperates with several of his inventions that will benefit the future, his official career will definitely be smooth.
But Xie Xin not only did not become an official, but instead stayed in the countryside of Huangjia Village in Nanyang and opened a private school. But after more than a year of construction, the name of Huaxia Private School was heard to be somewhat famous in Nanyang.
In just one year, it was not easy for him to achieve this step even with the help of his own book collection.
"Yong'er!" Li Ying called to Li Yong lightly.
"Father, the child is here!" Li Yong stepped forward quickly.
"Go and give Lu Zigan a message and tell us that the Li family has joined the alliance! At the same time, write a letter to tell the Xun family, Chen family and Sima family who plan to be neutral, and ask them to join the alliance together!" Li Ying ordered calmly.
"My child understands!" Li Ying spoke, but of course Li Yong had nothing to say.
But before I went out, I couldn't help but look back at the thank you letter.
I thought to myself: What kind of magic power does he have that makes his father value him so much...
