Chapter 300: Chaos
The color of the sky gradually transitions from blue to orange-red, and the sunset spreads across the sky like a gorgeous picture.
Lian Jun's golden mask shone brightly under the sunset. He sat at the stone table in the courtyard and propped his head on his hands. His whole body was covered with a layer of soft light by the sunset.
Xie Fengyue was not in the mood to appreciate this pleasing scene. Her expression was already serious, and the first sentence she spoke pointed directly to the problem: "Didn't you join the army? Why did you come to Yongning? How could you have the map of Ailao Mountain?"
Lian Jun, who was originally excited when he saw Xie Fengyue coming over, was stunned by the repeated questions.
He was stunned for a moment before replying: "Of course I followed Moon Girl~"
Xie Fengyue took a deep breath: "What I want is the truth."
"I'm telling the truth. After the First World War in Shu, I returned to Shengjing immediately. Unfortunately, it was too late, and a sick man like You Heng got there first."
Xie Fengyue twirled her fingers and continued to ask: "Then how did you know that I came to Yongning? How did you get the map of Ailao Mountain?"
After Xie Fengyue asked, her eyes turned to Lian Jun's face, as if he would kick him out on the spot if he dared to tell lies.
Lian Jun considered his choice of words for a long time, and finally decided to tell the truth.
He described how he sent people to follow Young Master Yan evil men in an extremely relaxed manner, and also described the Ailaoshan group in an extremely thrilling way.
What he said is that the people under Gongzi Yan are not good enough. He has no map. The Ailao Mountain group relies on his wise and powerful guidance to save everyone from danger.
After Xie Fengyue heard this, the black lines on her head felt like they were almost hanging down to the soles of her feet.
Forget it, how could she expect to hear real things from the mouth of a second-generation ancestor like Lian Jun who had changed his temper.
Xie Fengyue sighed and asked: "How long are you going to stay here?"
Lian Jun shook his head: "I don't know either. As soon as I return to Shengjing, my father asked me to take the guards and soldiers to find a place to play quickly. I can't return to Shengjing without news about him."

Xie Fengyue smelled a hint of storm coming from these words.
What kind of situation would allow a general guarding one side to allow his only seedling to take refuge away from the center of power?
Naturally, the center of the political power is in chaos.
Xie Fengyue didn't expect to ask anything from Lian Jun now. He probably only gained muscles but no brain during his time in the military camp.
She asked in the simplest and most direct way: "Is Uncle Wei of Rongan's Mansion still in the capital?"
Although Lian Jun didn't know why Xie Fengyue asked this person, he still thought carefully for a while and replied: "Is that the good-looking Uncle Wei?"
Xie Fengyue was silent, but her eyes showed that she was right.
If we look at it objectively, Weining's appearance is indeed outstanding.
Lian Jun made a low cry, and an inexplicable desire to compete suddenly emerged: "My sister said that if my face was not injured, I would be much prettier than him."
He distorted the topic too much. Xie Fengyue frowned and her voice became cold: "Is he in the capital?"
Lian Junyi saw Xie Fengyue frowning, how dare he plant rice and make fun of him, he replied seriously: "If I remember correctly, I seem to have heard a few gossips about how Uncle Wei offended the prince's party. , was demoted to a small county guard in a feudal country. ”
After Xie Fengyue felt happy, she became worried again.
Fortunately, the letter she left behind really broke up the encroachment situation that Wei Ning and Xie Wuwei had painstakingly laid out.
They had carefully laid out the game for so long, from borrowing Mrs. Xihua's help to make money everywhere to letting Xie Lingyun replace Wei Ning as a serious nobleman. Every step was done to make everyone blameless. It is a pity that in this game, A disobedient chess piece forced them to cut off their wrists.
Worryingly, based on her understanding of Wei Ning, although Wei Ning couldn't talk about breaking up with Xie Wuwei after this incident, he definitely didn't run away if there was a disagreement. According to Weining's temperament, he is likely to advance his plan and take advantage of the public resentment caused by this severe drought to revolt.
By the time the arrow was on the string, it was already too late for Xie Wuwei to stop him.
Xie Fengyue only guessed half of it right.
Weining was indeed rebelling, but he did not use the drought as an excuse.
The people at the bottom of life have an absurdly high tolerance for natural disasters. If you can force them to risk their lives, you will only add to the disaster.
So Weining accepted the transfer order and arrived at his post. He ordered people to trap and kill more than 500 craftsmen and coolies who were going to be sent to build Afang summer palace.
He announced that these people had died on the way to carry heavy stones, and then began to recruit men in large numbers to Shengjing.
People's grievances have arisen over time. They have already suffered natural disasters and now have man-made disasters added to them. No matter how long the oppression lasts and how heavy the servility is, they will still fight with all their strength at this moment.
Weining easily raised a rebel army on his own territory.
He secretly sent people to advise and provide financial support, and gradually developed this loose team into a good atmosphere.
On the surface, he also wrote to the Emperor of Zhou, saying that there were rebels in the area and the surrounding states and counties needed to send troops to assist.
As a result, the surrounding armies who came to support joined forces with him to destroy one army and annihilate it in the area under Weining's jurisdiction. He recruited those who could be recruited, and when he encountered those who refused to surrender, he strangled them in public to strengthen their strength. Military morale.
Of course, none of these bloody events could touch Xie Fengyue who was far away in the border area.
She didn't hear anything about Chou Yin Mao from Lian Jun's words, so she simply stopped worrying about it.
These days, she was involved in both production and infrastructure construction. In the morning, she spent time in Adjutant Wu's white glue experiment, and in the afternoon, she personally supervised the work of Fusang slaves pounding earth and building houses.
Xie Fengyue was so busy that she had to find time to deal with the quarrel between Lian Jun and You Heng.
Xie Fengyue became upset when she thought of this.
You Heng's temperament is obviously the mildest. Ever since Lian Jun came here, he has always quarreled over trivial matters.
He was a frail man who could hardly walk without breathing, and Xie Fengyue didn't dare to say anything to him.
But Lian Jun was different. Xie Fengyue felt that if this person had time to argue with a sick patient, he was probably too busy, so she handed over the task of overseeing Fusang's slaves to him without any psychological burden.
Now, at dinner time, Lian Jun could be seen with an angry face accusing the Fuso people of being stupid like pigs.
After leaving the troublesome matter to Lian Jun, Xie Fengyue became visibly more relaxed.
She is now focusing on the white glue matter in the morning, and in the afternoon she can go to the dock in person to wait for Xiao Xuan's return.
It has been more than two months since they set off, and the news has only been released in the past few days.
As for whether it was good news or bad news, Xie Fengyue was actually unsure.
The timeline is really stretched too long.
It turned out that according to Xie Fengyue's prediction, this route would be completed in about a month at most. If the mineral vein could be found, that would be great. If not, at least the reefs on the Yongning and Jianye routes should be known. Didn't disappear.
After changing it once, the mobile phone code word correction cannot be used.
