"Wow! Is this the southern country of Bannan?!" Ao Li said excitedly.
Today, Jue took Ao Li to the southern version of the big country in the south.
"Could it be that you're ready to ambush me today?"
"How is that possible? Besides, do you still need to disguise yourself in that case?" Jue said.
Today, Ao Li used a spell to dye her black hair, and there were some fine-tuning on her face, and she also put several layers of cloth on her chest at Ao Li's strong request.
"It's too far away than running. Jue said on the side.
"Okay!" Ao Li agreed, but she didn't focus on Jue's words.
The two walked around the town.
"It's so great here! There are so many things I haven't seen before! And is this a town of the Terrans? It's similar to the Dragons!"
Jue looked around.
How so...... It's a bit lifeless......
"Now, Ao Li. What was it like here?"
"Hah, you ask me?!" Ao Li immediately asked rhetorically.
"Ah, indeed...... You haven't been out before......"
Jue looked at the people around him, then found a snack stall and asked, "How much does this thing cost?"
"A silver coin. ”
"Really? Bring two. Jue handed the coin to the stall owner, and then asked, "Are the prices in this area so expensive?"
It's just too expensive for the price of food, especially for roadside snacks like this.
"Well, it's all for the price. ”
“...... How much is that money?" Jue asked again.
"It's a foreigner? We don't know very well about other places, but this area is a copper coin and two catties. And I heard that places with a lot of people like the national capital have risen to the price of two copper coins and two catties!"
"Then can you afford it?" Jue asked with a frown.
Generally speaking, such high prices should cause resentment among the people, and it is natural for an uprising to break out now, but it is very peaceful here, and at most people look a little dead.
"At the moment, it is still affordable, after all, there have been large-scale national projects before. ”
"Really?"
"Well, a lot of people have gone to work, not to mention the high salary, or the state directly pays money, and there will be compensation for food or daily necessities during the construction period, and more importantly, these are construction projects for the people, and no one wants not to join. ”
Jue nodded solemnly after hearing this.
If you look at it this way, this country should have built a lot of big projects for the people, not only to make the country richer and stronger, but also to calm the people's minds and consolidate the country, it is right to say that there is an excellent people's livelihood here, but why are the prices here so expensive, and the people are not angry?
Wait a minute...... Rising prices represent inflation, and if the three realms are unified in monetary circulation......
"The facilities you built...... Don't you pay tax if you use it?" Jue asked.
"No, and anyone who participated in the construction at that time was exempt from tax for three years. ”
Is it such nonsense?! Jue was quite shocked after hearing this.
"If this is the case, a large amount of money in the treasury will flow to the people, and the tax revenue will not keep up, and in the end it will not lead to large-scale inflation among the people, and there is no way to interfere with the people...... If it's a three-year tax exemption...... "It's not Jue who says this, but Ao Li."
She put her hand to her chin and thought, "If only thirty percent of the country's citizens participated in such a project?" In order to ensure that it does not burden other people, it is not possible to increase the taxes of those who do not participate in the project, but this will reduce the income of the state and eventually lead to the bankruptcy of the country...... It's dangerous......"
"We don't understand what this young lady said, but we still have quite confidence in our country. The stall owner said.
"I remember the king's ...... here"
"Yes...... Crashed. It seems to have been plotted by the courtiers. ”
I remember that the king here is obviously a virtuous king, so it is reasonable to say that such a situation will not occur. Ao Li was full of doubts.
"We don't know about the officials, we only know that a guard killed the first king. ”
Jue and Ao Li looked at each other, and then Jue asked, "Has the prince here ascended the throne?"
"No," said the stall owner, pouting, "I heard that the prince is shy and does not want to ascend the throne." The current work is jointly carried out by the Assistant Governor and the Prime Minister...... But the relationship between the two of them doesn't seem to be very good......"
Why haven't you heard of such an official position? Jue was full of doubts after hearing the stall owner's words.
Jue looked at the stall owner.
It seems that there is no information anymore......
Next, Jue accompanied Ao Li to take a good walk around the town.
During this period, some female shopkeepers who seemed to be very gossipy said that the two of them were husband and wife when Jue and Ao Li were shopping, and then there were violent incidents in which Jue cleaned up the passers-by who asked Ao Li for directions, and so on.
After having had enough, Jue and Ao Li returned to the bamboo house.
"How's that going on outside world?" Jue asked.
"It's very good, everyone is very welcoming, everyone is very nice, it's very happy!" said Ao Li with a smile.
"Really?" Jue had a solemn expression.
"It's you, don't always have the idea that 'there are always people who want to harm me', okay? Besides, do you have paranoia about being victimized? Every time you always think that someone wants to harm you, and the teacher hurts others. Ao Li laughed.
"The human race can't be trusted......" Jue sighed.
"That's right, Jue. Ao Li lifted the spell on her head, put down her white dirt hair, then turned to look at Jue, and said, "I have decided, I will live like this in the future!
"Is that you, that means you're going to leave your identity behind and live for your will, right?" Jue asked.
"Yes!" Ao Li said and walked towards Jue, "but I also realize a problem, I need a helper, a helper who can help me complete this plan!" said Ao Li, holding Jue's chin with her fingers.
"So, you chose me, right?" Jue asked.
"That's right, I'm going to live as I like in the future, and only you know where I am, and you're in charge of maneuvering around the dragons, knowing that they've completely forgotten about me. And you're going to give me financial support, how about that?"
"It sounds like it's all your good, and I'm saddled with a drop in wages and the threat of being beheaded at any moment. Jue said.
Although Jue said in a very calm voice, his heart was very panicked.
Damn, I can almost guess what this girl is going to answer...... Well...... I wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but I still dug a hole for myself......
"All! my all!" Ao Li said, "I can do everything, I have made enough preparations to be able to come out of Lingyun one day, I can do housework such as laundry and cooking, and I can also hunt and use spells, and ......" Ao Li said and blushed, "I think I look okay, although my body is not like that of Sister Chidori, but ......"
"Cheng, don't talk about it yet. Jue interrupted Ao Li's words, "Let me ask you a simple question, if you really pay yourself to me, then you will have to bear all the possible consequences of becoming a woman." For example, what if you have a child? If you don't go to your dragon family's holy land, is it possible for you to give birth? Even if you give birth, how will you survive as a single mother? When your child grows up, where do you want him to integrate into society? If you don't go to Dragon City, your identity will be exposed, and there will be no place to go, which will be a psychological damage to him; if you go back to Dragon City, you may be found out, not only will you be found, but the father of the child will also be implicated...... You want to live on your own? It's too difficult. And if you pull me into the water, it's also very risky. Sometimes, things aren't as simple as you think. ”
Ao Li stood there like a wooden man, and after a long time she suddenly relented, and put on a disgusted face and said, "Uh...... You're disgusting!
Jue shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh! Okay, okay, just let me have a good time, okay! Either I'll recognize you as my brother, and you go and be my uncle's righteous son, then I won't have anything to do with the throne! You can still be the dragon king, how about it? When you become the dragon king, I'll come back, what? Anyway, we look so alike, it's nothing to say that we are brother and sister!"
"Ao Li!" Jue suddenly roared, "As a royal daughter, you should be conscious! If the throne can be messed up, then the dragon clan will have no future! Do you know how important the blood in your body is? The weapon of the dragon clan! The secret of the dragon clan! The future of the dragon clan needs this thing! You are too willful like this! You are so ...... like this"
Jue stopped reprimanding because Ao Li had already started to cry.
"I know all this...... Ao Li said with tears in her eyes, "but I just want to live a normal life! I have never seen the outside world since I was a child! I have not even seen my mother." I was sent to Lingyun! Do you know how I spent my time when I was a child?! Actually, I was the illegitimate son of the former king! No one knew what the relationship between my mother and the former king was! It's just that some people said that I was sent to Dragon City and said that I was the princess of the dragon clan! And the first thing the former king asked after seeing me was how my mother was! At first, everyone didn't believe that I was from the dragon royal family! Only my uncle! Even the former king was obsessed with my existence! If it weren't for the 'blood connection', I would have been taken out of Lingyun to fend for myself!
Do you know how miserable I am? Since I became sensible, I have been called an 'outsider' behind my back! Since I was a child, I have to learn unknown etiquette! I have to learn quite difficult spells! Even words make my head big! Who have I offended!? Why did I have to be sent to Lingyun to suffer?!"
Listening to Ao Li's loud talk, Jue didn't speak.
He finally understood why Ao Li was always eager for the outside, why he was a little scared when he pulled out the Earth Emperor's sharp thorn, and why he sometimes looked at those things with the same bright eyes as Jue while explaining to him in detail how to use them - because Ao Li had only seen them in books.
"I don't have any relatives in Lingyun! Uncle is just to let the dragon clan have a cohesive force! My existence is just a shot in the arm for the dragon clan! Because the royal family of the dragon clan is only me and my uncle, not at all like the royal family of the dragon clan and the dragon clan in the past, there are many people!"
Jue stood up and said, "Didn't you say it in the Dragon Palace, you want me to be responsible for you, it's okay to let you, so you're not alone, okay?"
"Jue!" Ao Li cried and hugged Jue all at once.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. I don't know if it's not easy for you to be my fault, stop crying...... Oops! You're still having a runny nose! Forget it, anyway, I washed my clothes when you got dirty during the Chinese New Year, and I have experience this time. ”
Late at night, Jue stroked Ao Li's head.
This Nizi has been crying for a day, and now it can be regarded as a stop. Jue thought. But I said something terrible...... Why? Why do you always feel like taking care of this child?
"Hmm, okay?" Jue said as he looked down at Ao Li, who was pillowing himself.
"Hmm...... In my current position...... Ahh
"What's wrong with that?" Jue said with a smile, "I was going to scribble on your face, but I didn't take a pen, so forget it." ”
"You...... Hmph! Obviously, it is the power of girls to give knee pillows!" Ao Li said angrily.
"What kind of theory is this?" Jue smiled wryly, she was speechless at Ao Li's nonsense.
"Which do you choose, a boy's hairy leg or a girl's delicate white leg?"
"Enough is enough, no gender discrimination. ”
"Hey, hey. ”
Ao Li once pillowed on Jue's lap, and then said, "Na, Jue, do you think we are really unrelated people?"
"Huh, what do you mean by that?"
"You said that you have the same hair color as mine, and I heard from others, especially Sister Chidori, that you have a hidden feeling, maybe you should be the prince of the dragon clan, or the crown prince!"
"That's impossible, I know my background in general, and I have nothing to do with the dragons. Jue smiled at the topic.
"Yes, but ......" Ao Li controlled Jue's head with her hand, and then kissed him on the throat, "I want to call you a brother, is it okay?
Jue was stunned for a moment, and then said, "If I say it's okay, do you want to come back?"
"It's not impossible. Ao Li smiled and shook her head, then put her face in Jue's arms and said, "Thank you, brother, I know what to do." ”
"That's good. Jue looked around, "You are always welcome here." ”
"Thank you!
Ao Li screamed, but Jue suddenly covered her heart.
What is this?!So happy!So warm!Why is it so touching to be called like this?!It seems that someone has called me that before......
The two walked out of the bamboo hut, and by this time, Xia Ni and the others were already waiting outside.
"Jue! you hurt me! Your words made me almost cover up!" "Xia Ni complained as soon as she came up, but she seemed to focus on Su Feng in her arms and didn't pay much attention to Ao Li and Jue.
After Jue left, everyone began to question Xia Ni if he knew Ao Li's whereabouts, but Xia Ni was really confused, and then thought about why Jue would only tell himself where Ao Li was, and suddenly realized - Jue once gave his house to Ao Li!
"At least this kid is willing to come back. Jue until Ao Li, who was holding one of her arms, said, "Ah, the feather is here too?"
At Shani's side, Sha Yu nodded, "Well, thanks. ”
"I heard that Jue saved the unfortunate storm feather back, so she wants to repay you!"
"Ah, nothing. Jue shook his hand.
But at this time, Ice Thousand Bird and Nal looked at Ao Li with a frown.
"Hmm...... If I go back, will I still be able to catch the Shanghai Festival?" asked Ao Li.
"I guess we can make it to the last day. Ahh
"Really, that's great, Sister Yu!" Ao Li said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go. Shani said.
"Well, let's go on the last day of the sea festival! But it seems that Sister Xia Ni seems to be in a lot of trouble because of Jue, Jue, you want to match Sister Xia Ni on the last day of the sea festival!" Ao Li ran to Xia Ni's side and turned back to Jue.
At this time, Jue, Ice Chidori and Nal all looked at Ao Li and didn't say anything.
But Ao Li ignored this and took Xia Ni away, and took Su Feng away by the way.
Ice Chidori and Nar followed after seeing that Ao Li and Shani didn't care.
But Jue didn't follow, and Xue Yu ran to Jue's side quickly with a pale face and held his hand tightly.
"Jue?" "Shani, and when they saw that something was wrong, they also stopped.
Jue looked around, and then said in a cold voice with a distinctly murderous aura: "Come out!
After a few seconds, a cold air hit, and the air in the wind rushed into people's nostrils with a strong smell of blood, making people feel vomiting when they smelled it.
"Eh~?was discovered?deserves to be ...... "An ethereal voice came through ......the air.
