32. Mind Shift

"almost!"

Li Yu smiled reluctantly: "It's because I'm not very careful about it, which causes so much trouble for everyone!"

He could have handled the matter more perfectly without any trace, but unfortunately he still seemed a little anxious.

The matchmaker knew Li Yu’s secret, and did not say much, let alone ask.

Not to mention others, even she wants to know who Li Yu is, where he comes from, and why he comes here?

"No trouble!"

Dong Xiaowan shook her head gently: "To be honest, if I hadn't been fortunate to meet you, I wouldn't have imagined what would happen!"

After these days of contact, she roughly learned about Li Yu's character. If it weren't for him, the mother and daughter would have nothing and might have been burdened with a huge debt...

Dong Xiaowan knew that Li Yu was different from ordinary people, and he had his own reasons and purposes for doing anything.

"Don't worry!"

Li Yu smiled and said, "I just wanted to be in case. The situation is far from that bad now. It doesn't matter whether you go or not. It's mainly because you are mentally prepared!"

He went to Yingtian to report the message to Zhang Guowei, and to go over and explore the news.

If there is something wrong, there is enough time to escape. We can't wait until the court chases Suzhou before escaping.

"The young master just recruited the guards. If there was no one in charge of the embroidery shop, it would be easy to have problems!"

Dong Xiaowan pondered for a while: "If the young master doesn't think I'm stupid, then let me stay here for the time being!"

She didn't want to go to Yingtian with Li Yu, and felt that she couldn't help even if she went there. Moreover, Dong Xiaowan was not worried that her mother Bai was alone. It would be better to stay in the embroidery shop to help Li Yu stabilize the hearts of the people, which could be regarded as a slight repaying his help that day.

"Do you have any plans?"

Li Yu looked at the matchmaker: "Stay here, go to Yingtian with me!"

Since he came to the Ming Dynasty, he has been with the matchmaker for time and has some emotional dependence on her.

To be honest, Li Yu is both a modern person, so how could he be so easy to integrate into the Ming Dynasty? If the matchmaker hadn't helped him cover it up, he would have been arrested by the government officials long ago.

"I'll go to Yingtian with you!"

The matchmaker said with a little concern: "Is there any danger they are here?"

She was worried that Li Yu would be alone, and was also worried that she would never see Li Yu again after leaving.

Even though she knew that she and Li Yu belonged to different worlds, the matchmaker still couldn't stop her favor with him.

If not, the matchmaker would not have left the troupe and followed Li Yu resolutely.

"Don't worry, definitely not!"

Li Yu said decisively: "You think that once they have confirmed what is said in the letter, they will only be curious about what is going on and let me use it for them; if they refuse, they will definitely not let me go easily!"

He was worried that Chongzhen would know about the unexpected and predestined. Who would not want to take this ability into his own hands? In this way, Li Yu would never leave alive for the rest of his life.

If some talents cannot be obtained, they have to be killed, so as not to be used by the enemy in the future and be detrimental to themselves.

Of course, Li Yu understood this principle, so he hurriedly left Ruyang, and now he is ready to leave Suzhou quickly.

The matchmaker glanced at Dong Xiaowan and nodded.

They are all smart women, very tacit understanding, and they just can't tell them if they don't have to say anything.

Li Yu left two hundred taels of silver for Dong Xiaowan and gave Wu Xing another one hundred taels of silver, saying that he had something to do to go out for a few days. During this period, Dong Xiaowan was the leader, and everyone followed her instructions.

He finished the work of the embroidery shop and took a boat to Yingtian with the matchmaker early the next morning.

It’s not far from Suzhou to Yingtian, and it only takes more than half a day to take a boat.

Originally, Li Yu wanted to go there without delaying the time, but the risk of sailing at night was too high, so he had to wait for the day.

Ahu and Monkey wanted to go with him, but the matchmaker didn't let them go, so she had to stay.

They are like owners in the embroidery shop, and everyone is very polite to them.

It was already afternoon when Li Yu and Matchmaker arrived in Yingtian.

Li Yu spent money to ask someone to help him deliver a letter to Zhang Guowei, and then found an inn with the matchmaker who disguised as a man.

He wrote some information about Zhang Guowei in the letter, and then reminded Zhang Guowei that the generals of Dongjiang, Shen Zhixiang, would lead Shicheng Island generals to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Nanjing City is full of singing and dancing, and the Qinhuai River is singing and dancing everywhere, and you can't feel the turbulent situation in the north at all.

Except for Li Yu, no one knows that in six years, the entire Ming Dynasty would be filled with bloody storms.

If you are in a peaceful and prosperous era, Li Yu can also take a quick look at the flowers and go to the Qinhuai River to appreciate the style of the eight beauties of Qinhuai.

However, after he met Dong Xiaowan, he gradually lost interest.

Compared to the beauty, Li Yu is more concerned about the situation now.

In the past, he was just a passerby and had no worries, but now he wants to turn the world around, so naturally he can't be unrestrained anymore.

Li Yu felt that in the face of the general trend, his personal strength was too thin, and he could only compete with it if he gathered most of the strength.

He once thought about helping the court kill Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, so as to avoid the Ming Dynasty falling into internal and external troubles and fighting on both sides, and perhaps he could successfully resist the invasion of the Qing army...

Then I thought about it, a few years ago, there were neither a large number of disasters nor the uprisings of peasant army from all over the country, so the Ming Dynasty was powerless to invade the Qing army, let alone now?

If the court's governance is not effective and the people are living in poverty, even without Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, there will be Zhang Zicheng and Li Xianzhong.

In this case, only by completely changing the court can the problem be solved from the root.

Having said that, Li Yu did not want to help Li Zicheng overthrow the Ming court smoothly.

In his opinion, Li Zicheng was not as good as Chongzhen. Chongzhen had resisted the Qing army for many years, but Li Zicheng finished it in dozens of days.

After thinking about it, Li Yu decided to do it himself. He felt that he should at least be better than Chongzhen and Li Zicheng.

When encountering problems, you can learn from Grandpa Mao’s experience, or even turn to universal netizens for help. The three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, but he doesn’t believe that he has so many advantages that he can’t turn the tables.

The biggest problem at the moment is that there are no people available, otherwise, Li Yu could arrange one person in every key place, and when the time is ripe, he can solve it twice the result with half the effort.

But he was just alone and could only train him slowly.

There is also a quick and reliable way, which is to marry a woman from a noble family and marry a wife, so that there will be many talents and a large number of resources. This is a situation where interests are consistent.

If you find that you affect the interests of their family, you are likely to be betrayed by them.

A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family!

It’s not about saying it, but about reality. For their aristocratic families, even if they are replaced by another person to be the emperor, it doesn’t matter as long as it doesn’t affect their interests.
