Xue Lian'er frowned and said, "But what do I say about the Mirror God City I saw, the money that ordinary people have worked hard to earn, and they still have to pay taxes?"

I continued to explain: "This princess doesn't know anything, the current Red Dragon Kingdom, all the cities rely on the protection of the City Lord's Mansion to survive. When the city lord's mansion protects the city and its people for free, it needs to form its own army, and it needs to have its own various officials to help the people, which all require expenses. To put it simply, the City Lord's Mansion has no source of funds for itself, and it does all the obligatory work, so the City Lord's Mansion of each city collects some taxes to maintain these daily expenses. ”

Xue Lian'er nodded slightly: "I understand a little bit what you said, because we don't have anything to do with being attacked or sneak attacked by the outside world, we don't need the army to protect us." And we people here need to do relatively few things, everyone is concentrated in one place, and they can directly help each other do something, and there is no need to organize a group of people to help others do things, and it is true that there is no need to organize special personnel to serve others by collecting taxes. ”

I smiled and said, "It's good that you understand, it's not that there is anything unfair in the outside world, but if the situation is different, the approach will be different." It's like an agreement between you and me, you help me do things, I pay you, it's as simple as that. ”

Xue Lian'er smiled: "Understood, thank you for the general's doubts." Invite the general to breakfast, we will leave in a moment. It may take half a day to travel today, so the earlier we leave, the sooner we arrive. ”

I nodded, grabbed a piece of meat, and devoured it.

Yesterday I had tasted the craftsmanship of Snow Lotus, and I felt that it was very delicious, and when I ate it again today, I still felt that it was quite delicious, and I couldn't help but eat several pieces in a row.

When I had eaten a little, I stopped.

Xue Lian'er and Xiao Jin are also eating, only Xiaozhu doesn't need to eat, she practiced the Yuan Shen Du with me last night, recovered some of the consumed Yuan Shen power, and now goes back to the Life Soul Bead to rest.

I inadvertently thought of the colorful real person who had been protecting Xue Lian'er before, and then asked Xue Lian'er casually: "Why does the colorful real person follow you and protect you? Who is he? Is it just that you are similar to your master?"

Referring to the captured Colorful Real Person, Xue Lian'er said a little sadly: "He is my father's friend, this time I begged my father to let the Colorful Real Man take me out to play, and by the way, I have a long experience." Unexpectedly, the colorful real person accidentally found an old man, and after discussing with me, he went to see the old man. I was alone outside, unfamiliar with life, and actually fell into the hands of the starry people. As a result, the Colorful True Beings were forced to agree to help the Stars attack Mirror God City, and I myself was forced to help them come up with ideas......"

Hearing this, I have understood a lot of things, it turns out that Xue Lian'er did not take the initiative to help the starry people, she went out with the colorful real person, after the two separated, she was accidentally arrested, and she had to be an accomplice of the starry people.

The deceased of the colorful real person should be the five idle people who wanted to harm me before, if my guess is right.

Later, because Snow Lotus fell into the hands of the stars, the colorful real people were forced to agree to help the stars attack the Mirror God City, which was also reasonable.

I know the rest very well, and I can be considered to have participated in it.

Hearing Xue Lian'er say with a hint of remorse: "If it weren't for my insistence on coming out to take a look, the colorful real person might be fine, I ...... I won't fall into the hands of the stars, and become their accomplice, the one who killed the general......"

I understood everything, but I still couldn't help but want to ask clearly, so I said: "Colorful real people help the starry people, is this also related to you being caught by the starry people?"

Xue Lian'er nodded and didn't speak, but her eyes were obviously a little remorseful.

I couldn't help but continue to ask, "Is it because the Star Man used your life to blackmail him, so he helped the Star Man attack our Mirror God City?"

Xue Lian'er nodded slightly, then grabbed my hand and said excitedly: "General Yingming, it is like this, the colorful real person did not want to join the stars from the beginning, he was indeed forced to cooperate with the stars because of me." General, when we leave the extremely cold land next time, please go to Shen's house to find Shen Zu, tell Shen Zu about this matter as it is, and save the life of the colorful real person. ”

I smiled bitterly: "Not to mention whether Shen Zu will believe me, even if he believes me, then what kind of fate person will not necessarily spare the colorful real person because of this." The princess, who openly defects to the enemy and leads the enemy to attack her city and country, is a complete traitor. Such a person, no matter what the reason, wants to be forgiven by everyone, but I am afraid that it will be very difficult. ”

"What about me?" Xue Lian'er looked at me disappointedly: "I have also helped the Star People, if it is like what the general said, wouldn't I not be forgiven by people?"

I knew that Xue Lian'er had caught the flaw in my words, so I had to say patiently: "Princess, when I helped you get out before, I already took a lot of risks. Now I can also give it a try, as for the final result, I really can't give you a clear answer. What kind of person is the person who turns into a relationship, I don't say that the princess should know, and they may not listen to my words. ”

After a pause, I said helplessly, "If you want to be forgiven by the world, the best way is to help us defend against the stars." Through your actions, let the world know that you do have remorse, and the world will slowly forgive your mistakes. ”

Xue Lian'er said a little helplessly: "Actually, I also know that this matter is difficult for the general, but the general is my last hope, and I can't help but want to ask the general for help......

I nodded: "I know what the princess means, and please understand my difficulties." The subordinates of the Huayuan people are all martial artists in the realm of martial immortals, and when I am in front of them, it may not be useful to speak. This world is still a world where strength is respected, and if the strength is not enough, it will not be useful to speak. ”

Xue Lian'er nodded in disappointment and said slowly, "Let's go, I understand...... Let's go. ”

I suddenly felt a little sorry for her if I couldn't help Xue Lian'er, so I couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, I ......"

Xue Lian'er was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The general is polite, in fact, I also know that I am difficult for a strong man...... General rest assured, this is only my personal request, not a condition for our cooperation. ”

I smiled bitterly, waved my hand and said, "That's it, in that case, let's hurry as soon as possible." ”
