My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 1288

[Chapter 1246 Resumption of Business]

Cheng Shouyan left.

According to Jing Zhe’s instructions, he withdrew all the soldiers on the wall of the east city of Jingzhou, leaving only a few scouts on the wall to prevent Nan Qi from breaking the rules and taking action in advance.

Although it is already the end of March, many willow trees outside have sprouted new buds. However, Jingzhou is located in the northernmost part of Anguo, and the climate is much colder than the southern city of Jiangling. Jing Zhe wore a singlet when he was in Jiangling half a month ago. That’s fine, but when you come to Ruzhou and Jingzhou, you need to wear more clothes. The spring is very cold, and it’s still very cold in Jingzhou morning and night.

The Southern Qi army was all stationed outside the city, lying on the cold ground. It was a torture when they slept at night. It would be uncomfortable for them to stay for one more day, so Jing Zhe was not in a hurry.

Jing Zhe is not in a hurry outside the city now, because he still has a lot of things to do. After separating from Cheng Shouyan, he is going to Xiangyang Mansion.

Although King Jin, Su Lichen and others both died, and Jing Zhe and Su Mochen had also entered the city, the streets of Jingzhou City had not returned to their previous bustle after being in turmoil for too long.

The vendors are still staying at home. No one wants to go out to set up stalls at this time. The shops are also closed, and the people who came out to welcome them into the city have returned home. Maybe they also know that Nan Qi is outside the city, but not yet. A time of complete cheering.

The streets were deserted and depressed.

Looking at this scene, Jing Zhe remembered the excitement he saw when he first came to Jingzhou. Everything seemed like just yesterday, and he was very sad.

After a while, he arrived at Prince Xiang’s Mansion.

When the Yu family and Zhu family members saw Jing Zhe, they couldn’t hide their excitement. Although Su Limin took them all to Prince Xiang’s Mansion, they were not stupid and knew that Su Limin would not be kind.

So even though Su Limin didn’t do anything to them, they still felt uncomfortable living here, and now that they saw Jing Zhe, they were sure that this kind of day was over.

After comforting them for a moment, Zhu Tong and Jing Zhe walked into the front hall. Seeing this, the others closed the door and left very wisely, leaving the two of them a chance to talk alone.

“Uncle, I have made you feel wronged!”

Jing Zhe said apologetically.

Zhu Tong smiled and shook his head and said: “Compared to Bai Qingyuan and others, I am already very contented.”

It turned out that since the news of Emperor An’s death came out, Zhu Tong had smelled a conspiracy. The next day , Zhu Tong found an excuse to resign, and thus escaped a round of purges in the court.

For example, Bai Qingyuan couldn’t understand the situation, so the first thing Su Lichen did when he took office was to find an excuse to kill him. Everyone else was in danger, and Su Lichen also replaced all the key positions with his own people. Zhu Tong followed Jing Zhe explains it once so that Jing Zhe can be prepared and know who can and who cannot use it when the time comes.

After Jing Zhe listened, he chatted with Zhu Tong for a while, and also told him about meeting Lin Changjun in Jiangling. Zhu Tong was very emotional when he heard that his old friend was worried about him.

“When you finish dealing with Nan Qi’s affairs and straighten out everything in the court, I won’t have anything to worry about. Then I can return to Jiangling and catch up with Chang Jun!”

At this point, I wish you all the best.

With infinite yearning.

Later, Zhu Tong asked about Nan Qi’s affairs. When he heard that Jing Zhe was sure of defeating them, Zhu Tong said nothing more except telling Jing Zhe not to be careless.

Because Zhu Tong is a civil servant, he knows nothing about martial arts. He has only heard about grandmasters or various martial arts realms. Even so, he is still willing to believe that Jing Zhe can defeat Nan Qi, not for anything else but for him. It’s Jing Zhe.

He also heard that Jing Zhe planned to leave Nan Qi alone for a few days and not rush to attack them. Zhu Tong muttered: “If this is the case, my nephew had better take advantage of these few days to appease the people, so that once Nan Qi is defeated, he can We can take advantage of the opportunity to push His Highness Mo Chen to the throne!”

Jing Zhe nodded in agreement, because just now he was walking along and saw the people staying behind closed doors and the streets being desolate and desolate, and he didn’t think so. taste.

After chatting with Zhu Tong for a while and making arrangements for the Yu family and Zhu family members to return home, Jing Zhe came out of Prince Xiang’s Mansion.

The shops on both sides of the street were closed, and as properties under Jing Zhe’s name, Wenxiangju and Zhangjia Liquor House had also been closed long ago, as well as the Da’an Newspaper Office, because the people inside were Jing Zhe’s confidants. After Su Lichen ascended the throne, I was afraid that they would write randomly, so I had to close it down a long time ago.

Jing Zhe first gathered the people from the Da’an newspaper office, and then told them everything that happened outside and what he wanted to write about.

The mood of these newspaper staff is the same as that of ordinary people. They have been suffering these past few days. They are all worried about the future of themselves and their families. How can they care about anything else?

Now seeing Jing Zhe come back, and hearing the truth about the matter and the future direction from Jing Zhe, everyone became energetic and energetic, and Da’an Newspaper Office opened again.

Early the next morning, the Da’an Newspaper Office worked overtime to print a fresh newspaper. Because most of the people were staying behind closed doors, Jing Zhe sent people to deliver it door to door, trying to let all people know the truth.

At the same time, Zhangjia Winery and Wenxiangju also opened with high profile, which led to the reopening of nearby shops one after another. By the evening of the third day, the scene Jing Zhe was looking forward to appeared.

Because the common people have basically read the newspapers and have a clear and objective understanding of what happened before, and also know Jing Zhe’s plan, they are not so afraid now.

In addition, the shops on the streets have gradually resumed business, and the people finally put aside their ideological burdens and came to the streets from their homes. The streets of Jingzhou City finally became lively.

…

Beyond the east wall of Jingzhou.

Because Su Limin was first arrested and then killed, there was no one who could inform Qi Junguang. Qi Junguang had not received any news from Jingzhou City for many days. He had no idea what was going on in the city now. Not even aware of it.

At this time, Qi Junguang was not in a hurry at all.

However, his general was anxious and came to ask him about his next plan. Qi Junguang waved his hand and said with a smile, “Why are you anxious? Don’t I have a seven-day appointment with King Jin? There are only four days left, why are you anxious?”

“Your Majesty, What if King Jin can’t hand over the elixir after four days, or King Jin runs away secretly?”

The general asked worriedly.

As for Qi Junguang, not only was he not worried at all, but after hearing this, his eyes brightened and he said: “Escaped secretly? The monk can’t escape the temple if he escapes. If he really escapes, then we will let the Thundering Army bombard Jingzhou City. Let Jingzhou City and the entire people of Jingzhou City be buried with him!”
