Chapter 545: If you don't obey, you will be obliterated
What happened next was exactly as the system said. On the next day, news came from the court that grain and grass at the border had been burned, and the capital was in an uproar.
"Xiao Xi, I heard from people in the yamen that people from the border pass came to ask for help from the court, saying that all the food and grass at the border pass had been burned down." Zhao Yuanxun said to Zhao Ruxi with a worried look on his face when he went down to the yamen to have dinner.
The old lady and Mr. Zhu both stopped using their chopsticks.
"How could this happen? Didn't you say that you wouldn't be burned? Didn't you say that there are grain reserves in the nearby city? How could it be like this?" Zhu asked in surprise.
Zhao Yuanxun shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation. After all, this is a secret of the imperial court. If it weren't for a few soldiers in shabby clothes entering the city yesterday, the news would not have spread."
"Look at how smart my sister Xi is. At first you said she was unfounded, but now you know you were wrong, right?" Mrs. Zhu said.
When Zhu said this, everyone turned to look at Zhao Ruxi with a mysterious expression on their faces.
That day Zhao Ruxi asked this question, and everyone thought she was thinking too much. But thinking about it now, Zhao Ruxi didn't ask anything else, just asked this question. And the food and grass burning happened at the border. To say it was a coincidence, this
Isn't it too much of a coincidence?
If Zhao Ruxi asked a lot of questions, they wouldn't think much about it. But Zhao Ruxi only asked that question, which felt like he hit the nail on the head and became a prophecy.
"Sister Xi, did you have any bad premonition at that time?" the old lady asked.
Zhao Ruxi scratched her cheek: "Probably. Anyway, I was particularly worried about this at the time, but I didn't expect it to actually happen. It should be a coincidence."
In order to let everyone go to Jiangnan with her, she does not object to everyone thinking that she has the potential to be a magician.
"Sister, can you help me predict my test scores?" Zhao Jingtai approached Zhao Ruxi.
Zhao Ruxi reached out and rubbed his head: "The feeling is not good. You have to be mentally prepared to be beaten."
Zhao Jingtai suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. When he turned around, he saw the dangerous looks in his parents' eyes.
He turned around and looked at Zhao Ruxi pitifully: "Sister, you cheated me."
Zhu slapped him on the shoulder: "Why are you cheating? You didn't do well in the exam and you want to blame your sister?"
"No, mother." Zhao Jingtai sighed sadly.
If he did not do well in the exam, he could still find a way to hide it or use other things to distract his parents' attention. But now his sister exposed it in public. If he did not do well in the exam, he was designated to be beaten.
"Didn't you ask it yourself?" Zhao Ruxi looked at his brother innocently, "I'm telling the truth. What did I do to you?"
Zhao Jingtai: "..." He asked for his co-authorship.
He shouldn't ask blindly.
"If you were not playful at ordinary times, would you be worried about not doing well in the exam now? You never listen to me telling you to focus on your studies. Look at your sister, she is not only smart, but also diligent. If Aunt Yuan and Qing Feng hadn't reminded her, she would have
You hold the book in your hand every day and refuse to rest. Look at yourself, you start looking around within a quarter of an hour of reading..." Balabala.
Listening to his mother's endless scolding, Zhao Jingtai deeply regretted his bad words just now.
…
Border soldiers came to ask for help. Many people saw it when they entered the city, and the news could not be blocked. However, within a few days, everyone knew about it.
Zhao Ruyu has been paying attention to the developments at the border.
Although she had other thoughts, she was still unwilling to give up on Fu Yunlang, so she dated Fu Yunlang in the teahouse from time to time, and used Fu Yunlang to inquire about border news.
They usually meet once every five days. If there are special circumstances, they will send a servant to notify the door.
Yesterday was the agreed meeting time, but Fu Yunlang broke the appointment without sending a servant to inform her, which had never happened before. Zhao Ruyu felt that something was wrong. After sending a servant out to inquire, he found out that something had happened at the border.
.
Her mood is very complicated.
On the one hand, she hoped that things would be the same as they had been in her previous life, so that she and Fu Yunlang could achieve success. In this way, she would not have to take the risk of marrying someone she did not know and take a completely unfamiliar path. But on the other hand, she felt that she was looking forward to it.
The Fu family's father and son and one hundred thousand soldiers died at the border. It is really immoral to leave the people at the border homeless.
So she was very conflicted.
"Host, if you want to know border news, you can ask me. I can spend energy to help you find out." The system suddenly said.
At the beginning, it was not proficient in business and did not know how to exchange information for points. But now Zhao Ruyu was eager to know the situation at the border, and it was able to find out the information when it was bored and wandering around. It discovered this way to make money.
When Zhao Ruxi heard this, she was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Is it true? OK, OK, please help me find out the specific news about the border."
"It's that far away, and it's all secret and not easy to find out. The host needs to spend six thousand points," the system said.
"What?" Zhao Ruyu almost screamed, "Why don't you go and grab it?"
Six thousand points were exactly the number of points she had worked so hard to save during this period. She was so bad at playing the piano that she finally earned these points. She couldn't have spent all these points because of the border news that everyone knew sooner or later, right?
"Host, if you speak rudely to this system again, this system will erase you and change you to another host." The system warned sternly.
Zhao Ruyu was immediately frightened: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I apologize to you."
"Humph!" The system snorted coldly and ignored her.
Zhao Ruyu didn't know that the system couldn't kill her. After getting this system, she felt like she had found a treasure. She felt that this should be her biggest support in her life. So she didn't dare to make the system unhappy, let alone disobey the system's opinions.
Normally, if she encountered such a situation, she would definitely spend some points to appease the system's anger.
But it was so difficult for her to accumulate these 6,000 points, and she was reluctant to spend them.
Her beauty pills and her happy life depend on these points.
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and said: "Forget it, system. I'll keep these points to buy beauty pills. Anyway, even if I know the news about the border, I can't change anything, and it's not much use asking about it."
"Have you thought it through? If you ask me to inquire about information again, it won't be at this price." The system said very unhappily, "Besides, some things need to be taken advantage of. If you are late, you will be late. You
You have to think about it carefully.”
When Zhao Ruyu heard this, he thought carefully for a while, weighing the pros and cons.
She understands what the system means.
If she wants to change her ways, the sooner she makes preparations, the better.
