Although the current Chuning occupies a juvenile body, in fact, what she possesses is an adult soul who has experienced ups and downs in the workplace for a long time, and a heart that once held a high position and tasted power.Therefore, almost no need to think at all, he has already heard Huo Yunshu's subtext.

However, Chuning did not answer immediately, but instead asked, "I don't know what kind of purpose Uncle Huo wants?"

Huo Yunshu didn't seem to expect that Chuning would ask such a rhetorical question, but he reacted very quickly, without spending any time thinking about it, and immediately said:

"Then you have to ask, what kind of village does the head want?"

Although they only asked each other a few words that didn't seem to have any deep meaning, but Chu Ning already got something he wanted to know, so he stopped calling Jifeng and said truthfully: "The current head of the family is Chu Rou, How do I know what kind of village she wants? But... If Uncle Huo just treats today as a joke, I can talk about my thoughts. "

Although Chuning didn't have much sense of belonging to Zizhu Village, and she didn't want to interfere in the affairs of Zizhu Village, she also felt that she was idle anyway, chatting and giving ideas, just as if she was playing with an NPC It's not impossible to play games to pass the time.

"All the talk today is just small talk, she won't know about it." Huo Yunshu said with a smile: "No one else will know except you and me."

Chu Ning took a deep look at him, and a little surprise flashed in his heart—judging from the time Huo Yunshu appeared today and his clothes, he obviously went to a place that was not too close, and he went out for a long time , but he, who just came back, didn't show the slightest surprise to the strange changes in Chuning's body, and he knew the whereabouts of other people in the village better than Chuning, who was always there—— This fully demonstrated his means and his status in Zizhuzhai.

It can be seen from this that this person is not simple, and Chuning has to wonder how such a small pond in Zizhuzhai can accommodate this precious koi.

Of course, no matter what thoughts and plans this person has, as long as they don't offend her, Chuning, she can pretend she doesn't know anything.

"In my mind, there is no Zizhu Village." Chuning thought for a while, organized his words, and said, "It could be Zizhu Village, Zizhu County, or Zizhu County...but no matter what, In my mind, it must not be Zizhu Village."

"These days, I often chat with Qing'er, but she has never been down the mountain, and she doesn't know the world outside the mountain very well. The clearest sentence she can tell me is-Daqing Yongwei at the beginning of September 22, General Zhengnan Gu Wenxiong captured sixteen cities from the Nanman and returned to Beijing triumphantly.

In Chu Ning's view, this so-called glory is nothing but a false name. She even asked Qing'er if the emperor gave Gu Wenxiong any other rewards, but judging from Qing'er's description at the time, it must have been nothing. Affordable.

"I don't know what happened in the court to make the emperor issue this imperial decree, but I guess, whether it is before or after the victory of General Zhengnan, the court must not be peaceful, otherwise It is impossible for the emperor to fool a minister of great merit just like this." Chuning was not used to kneeling like this, so he simply stood up, paced with his hands behind his back, and thought: "In my opinion, General Zhengnan certainly made a beating. Great victories, but there is still a big gap between high achievements and hard rewards, but why didn't the sage reward him with high officials and titles, gold, silver and treasures, but instead rewarded him with invisible and intangible glory and prestige?"

Therefore, Chu Ning is a person who pays more attention to benefits. If she is Gu Wenxiong, she would rather not have all the officials go out of the city to meet such vanity, as long as the emperor rewards her with real money.

"The only possibility is that some people in the court don't want to give him high officials and honors, and the emperor can't reward him with gold, silver and treasures enough for his achievements." At this point, Chu Ning looked back at Huo Yunshu and said with a smile: "I guess, it's possible This battle has been fought for a long time, and the treasury is empty, so the emperor came up with such a method."

It was easy for Chu Ning to say it, but Huo Yunshu was horrified when he heard it. He didn't expect that the Erdang's enlightenment would become so smart. Just a few words from Qing'er's mouth would cause things thousands of miles away. She guessed it, and she guessed more than half of it right.

Chu Ning and Qing'er didn't know what happened in the past half month while they were in the mountains, but he, Huo Yunshu, knew about it.Long before the triumphant return of General Zhengnan, there were rumors in the government and the public that General Zhengnan would be crowned a prince after returning to the court. At worst, he had to be a powerful prince. But in fact, on the day the general Zhengnan triumphed, After being welcomed back to the Jinluan Hall by Mr. Yuan, the prime minister, he closed the gate of the mansion tightly and thanked the guests. If it was said that there was nothing wrong here, Huo Yunshu would not believe it either.

However, these people are all gods who live high in the temple. Although the fight between the gods will bring disaster to Chiyu, but for now, it still has no big impact on them, a small den of thieves. But Huo Yunshu is really curious, how did Chuning He guessed these conclusions from that few words, so he continued to ask: "Why do you see that the government is not fair? How do you see that the treasury is empty?"

"It's very simple." Chu Ning talked without thinking: "If the emperor really wants to give Gu Wenxiong glory and prestige, wouldn't it be better for him to lead all the officials out of the city to pick him up? The general's achievements can also earn him a good reputation, but why didn't he do it? This shows that there is something wrong with this matter."

"As for why I said that the treasury is empty, it's even simpler." Chuning pointed to himself and the Donglai Mountain outside the room, and said, "If the world is peaceful and the treasury is full, how can this beautiful Donglai Mountain be empty?" Become a den of bandits?"

Huo Yunshu is obviously also a sensible person, Chu Ning has already said this, if he continues to ask, it will appear that he has no ink, but he still wants to test Chu Ning, so he deliberately said: "I'm asking you Zizhu What is the relationship between Zizhu Village and my Zizhu Village?"

"Of course it's related." Chuning said without hesitation: "In such a big country, the treasury is so empty that even the rewards for meritorious officials have begun to be fooled. This not only shows that the emperor has lost control of the ruling and opposition parties, but also indirectly shows that no matter how strong this country is , Megatron, in fact, it’s just an empty shelf.”

"Even the imperial court is just empty-handed. How can the world live and work in peace and contentment? It is almost certain that the imperial court will find a way to get rid of the people in a short time. Troubled times are bound to come. Since troubled times are coming, then, of course, it is related to the way out of Zizhu Village—is this corner of Gou’an waiting to perish?

Chu Ning's words went around in a circle from the beginning to the end. Huo Yunshu may not have heard the hidden meaning of Chuning at first, but was just shocked by her daring to guess.When I heard the middle, I admired her insightful vision.But when he heard the last sentence, he just looked at Chuning quietly, as if he didn't hear what Chuning said at all.

"Chuning...Chuning..."

In this short period of silence, a young female voice suddenly sounded, from far to near, and soon came to the gate of the small courtyard.

Chu Ning recognized who it was, and when Huo Yunshu said goodbye, before turning around to leave, he suddenly heard Huo Yunshu behind him, and said slowly: "In the future, if the second master is free, you can come and sit with me, I think ... I may have some things that the second master may need."

Chu Ning said hello, thanked him respectfully, and then walked away. Before taking a few steps, he saw that fiery woman running over with a knife in her hand. There was no rush to deal with things that tore clothes or scratched bloodstains.

After a few strides, he took a closer look at Chuning, and then he took a deep breath, and then roared again, "Don't you have ears and a mouth? Can't you hear me calling you? Neither?" Do you know how to respond? Or are you so stupid that you can't even speak?"

Chu Ning is not a person with a violent temper, but he is not a person with such a good personality that he has no temper. After being yelled at by Chu Rou so casually, he felt a little unhappy in his heart. While worrying in his voice, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared immediately.

In this strange world, she occupies other people's bodies and enjoys the care and concern that should belong to others, so what right does she have to be unhappy?Besides, it feels good to be cared about by others. In the past, there were so many friends and friends who had fun together, but except for Song Ran, few people seemed to care about her like this.

Thinking of this, Chuning's previously agitated mood instantly cooled down. Seeing Chu Rou holding up her hand and wanting to slap her, he said in a low voice, "Chu Rou, I'm still sick, you just beat and scold like this... ...it's abusing me."

When Chu Rou heard this, she looked at Chu Ning in disbelief for a long while, and then said, "Chuning, have you really changed your temper? You... you don't even talk back to me anymore. I'm not used to it..."

Immediately, Chuning decided to give up communicating with her. It was not that she didn't want to see Chu Rou. Although Chu Rou's temperament was hot and her voice was a bit scary, in a word, her feelings for her sister were the most sincere. Compared with the brothers and sisters that Chu Ning was used to, who would fight to the death for the sake of arguing with the family, Chu Rou is a good sister without a doubt.

However, the better Chu Rou treats her, the more Chuning will resist getting close to her, and even feel a strong sense of guilt.

For the past few days, Chuning has been eating and drinking here for free, and has been taken care of by these human beings. Although it is not touched, it is still touched.But Chuning has always regarded himself as a bystander, because he has always clearly remembered his past, has been constantly recalling the past, and always looks forward to waking up tomorrow to return to the past before going to sleep every day.

Chu Ning resisted from the bottom of her heart to integrate into this world. She couldn't do what the protagonists of those novels did, even though she knew that every time she drank the medicinal juice, Chu Rou went all the way to pick it. Every bite of brown rice was saved by Chu Rou, but she still couldn't treat Chu Rou as her real sister.

Leaving Chu Rou behind alone, Chu Ning walked out of the small courtyard silently. She wanted to give herself some time to remember, but she suddenly felt very scared. ...All the bits and pieces, all forgotten...

But God didn't seem to intend to give Chuning too much time to grieve and remember, she just stepped out of the courtyard door, and something rushed towards her.

Almost instantly, Chu Ning subconsciously raised his hand and slashed at the thing that was rushing towards her. He heard a scream, and the thing fell to the ground a few steps away. Ning saw clearly what it was, and that thing jumped into the future again, and swooped over Chuning's head.

Chuning stumbled and stood firm, and then stared at the thing, only to find that it was an extremely fat colorful pheasant.

"Second master, second master... are you okay?"

Qing'er carried a kitchen knife and ran over from not far away. Seeing that Chu Ning was not injured, she felt relieved and pointed to the pheasant and explained, "When the master went to pick silkworm cocoons today, the I found an old ginseng on the mountain, so I caught a pheasant on the way back, and planned to stew it together for the Erdang's family to nourish... Unexpectedly, this chicken is used to the wild on the mountain, and it is so fierce that it accidentally let it die. escaped..."

"So that's how it is." Chu Ning smiled slightly and said, "Qing'er, I'm fine, you just take the chicken and stew it, remember to invite your father and younger brother over for dinner tonight, I have something very important to say. "

After hearing it for the first time, Qing'er wanted to refuse, but when she heard that Chu Ning had something important to do, she stopped making a sound, grabbed the pheasant and carried it away.

Immediately, Chuning's face turned black. She never expected that she would be so weak, not only not as sharp as a little loli, but also bullied by a pheasant.

After Qing'er walked away, Chu Ning turned around and looked at Chu Rou. Every time she took a step closer, she asked, "Didn't you just go looking for the old ginseng on purpose? And didn't you just go to catch the pheasant on purpose?"

Chu Rou stood on the spot, watching Chu Ning who was approaching step by step, and was about to say no, but the topic was interrupted. Chu Ning forcefully tore off the torn sleeve on her arm, exposing the wound.

"If not, then you can explain to me what is going on with this wound?"
