HCB Chapter 277 Knowing Where She Was Going
Chapter 277 Knowing Where She Was Going
When passing by the gate of the capital, I took a look at the people. They all had hot porridge in their hands, and the soldiers were also trying hard to maintain order.
After thinking about it, he casually put some food in the porridge shed.
Everyone looked at the thing that suddenly appeared and instinctively looked up. That beautiful back was a memory that they would never forget in their lives.
That touch of purple, that touch of bright red, that touch of white, that touch of orange.
It is the purest color in the world and the patron saint of Nanxu.
The common people and soldiers knelt on the ground spontaneously and did not stand up until they could no longer see any shadows.
At the same time, people came ashore in Changle Town one after another. As they stepped on the land, the purple lotus carrying them turned a few times and then disappeared.
After the He family got up, the nanny who was in charge of taking care of Xia Yining came hurriedly to report that the young lady had not been seen since they got up early.
The yard was in chaos, with people looking for someone everywhere. After Xi Zhiyi arrived, he hurriedly explained, "Ning'er must have gone to rescue someone. He must have gone a long way."
He told her about the strange place that appeared at night, where there was water everywhere except Changle Town.
Mr. Huang listened to her and asked, "Doesn't that mean the old roads are gone?"
"The people's homes and fields are gone?"
Xi Zhiyi wanted to follow Xia Yining at that time, but she and Chi Yan flew too fast. When he wanted to catch up, he saw the people sitting on lotus flowers and heading towards Changle Town.
I thought that no one at home knew about it and would definitely worry about Ning'er, so I went back.
He checked many places in the middle, then nodded solemnly and said, "It is true, and the casualties are heavy."
"Many people were asleep, and before they could react, they disappeared into the cracks in the ground, leaving only a few who were lucky enough to survive."
"Ning'er asked them all to come to Changle Town, presumably to accommodate them."
"What does Mr. Huang think? Do you need me to call the county magistrate over?"
Mr. Huang waved his hand and said, "No need. The magistrate of Changle Town is a smart man and will surely come here soon."
"If you are alright, don't stay here and go find Ning Bao. Protecting her safety is the most important thing."
"We old guys are safe here and won't have any problems."
The Xia couple also looked at him eagerly, and their meaning was very clear, that is, they hoped that he would go.
Xi Zhiyi knew their worries and nodded: "Don't worry, elders. Even if you don't tell me, I will go find Ning'er."
"It's just that the world has changed suddenly, and it's a chaotic time outside. You should stay in Xiaotian Village. If you get bored, just play around outside the sacred mountain."
"Don't go to the inner circle willfully. If you get into danger, no one will save you."
Mr. Huang rolled his eyes while holding the tea bowl, and said in dissatisfaction: "Why don't you just call my name? It's just a moment of willfulness."
"Finally you guys have caught me in the act. This matter will never end."
"Okay, okay, you little annoying guy, go away now. Your words are really unpleasant."
"Hey~~~ I miss my lovely Ningbao all day long."
"How come the little girl grows up so fast? In the blink of an eye, she can no longer act like a spoiled child in front of this master."
Xi Zhiyi was still worried about his jumpy parents and wanted to give them some advice.
The two of them just waved their hands with disgust on their faces, looking as disgusted as they could be.
Sometimes, Master San really doubted whether he was his parents' biological son.
Then Madam Xi came quietly over and stuffed a stack of banknotes into his hand: "Go out and find a wife, and bring Ning Bao home as soon as possible."
"Men should be more generous to women. They should rush to pay for meals and shopping."
"Also, remember to buy Ning Bao some jewelry or something, and give her some pocket money."
"The money you earned earlier has finally come in handy. Don't bring shame to the Xi family, or else don't tell others that you are my son."
"Also, Ning Bao is so outstanding, and the color is so good, it will surely attract a lot of attention when she goes out."
"You better be careful and don't give anyone a chance to take advantage of you. If your wife runs away, don't come back crying."
"Even if you come back crying, your father will beat you up severely."
Xi Zhiyi looked at the silver bills in his arms and wanted to tell his mother that he really had a lot of them on him.
There was a constant nagging voice in his ears, leaving him no chance to speak.
His own father was even more of a slave to his wife, and he kept nodding his head, which made him even more speechless.
In fact, he has always been skeptical about how such unreliable parents could give birth to three such reliable brothers.
Helplessly, he stuffed the banknote into his arms, and without wanting to explain anything, he nodded and walked out.
Madam Xi looked at his figure, and after chasing him out of the door, she complained: "It's all because of your incompetence that you can't give birth to a daughter."
"Otherwise I will be irritated by the brat at home for several years?"
"Hey~~~ My parents told me to be careful when choosing a man. It was all because of my young age and ignorance that I caused all this trouble."
"Humph~~They are all a bunch of debt collectors."
The secret guards were all laughing secretly, thinking that Master Xi was too pitiful. He didn't even dare to say a word when being scolded by his own wife.
The maids and servants passing by lowered their heads, for fear that others would see the smiles on their faces.
When Xi Zhiyi left, he saw the county magistrate hurrying to Xiaotian Village. The carriage was running very fast, raising dust everywhere it went, and almost leaving an afterimage.
Knowing that someone was concerned about the people's affairs, he used his internal energy to chase after that person in the direction of the capital.
When he arrived, he did not return home, but went to the palace to meet the new emperor. He was surrounded by people for several rounds, and the envy in his eyes could not be suppressed.
"You are really amazing. It is really best to be with the eldest princess. Look at how you are making rapid progress now."
"Did you encounter any opportunity?"
He slapped himself on the forehead and made a regretful expression.
"I should have asked the eldest princess last time. If I could be as powerful as you, I would be able to protect the people well."
"I'm not worried about other countries taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. I'm too stupid."
Xi Zhiyi didn't dare to respond and could only let him wander around there. Just when he was about to feel dizzy, the new emperor finally sat down.
"Knowing that you can't make the decision on this matter, I won't make it difficult for you."
"The eldest princess has already left for the border to see what's going on there. It would be a good idea for you to come over."
"I can protect the princess and act as a meat shield at critical moments."
"Don't be afraid. If you die protecting the princess, I will posthumously confer a title on you so that you can die with dignity."
The new emperor said that he would not make things difficult for him, but in fact he was extremely envious and spoke with gritted teeth.
Xi Zhiyi: ???
There were several sharp swords piercing his heart, and he said speechlessly: "Your Majesty, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
"It really breaks my heart."
"Sure enough, the most ruthless family is the Imperial Family, hum~!"
