Emperor 18

Although he has been looking out the window, his mind has been on the two people in the carriage, he has long known that the relationship between his husband and the second brother is not ordinary, but whenever he sees it, there is always an astringent feeling in his heart, he knows what this is for, but he also clearly knows that it is completely impossible for him and his husband, she looks at herself and the second brother The eyes are completely different, and she must grasp this degree. Otherwise, Mr. will treat himself in the future, and I am afraid he will not even have the current attitude.

After a while, "Drive." ”

The horse walked slowly, and the carriage swayed towards the suburbs.

Xiyue gently lifted the curtain next to her, the light and shadow between the leaves were dappled, it was still early in the morning, there was a trace of mist in the woods, and the birds fluttered their wings early and swept by, foraging for food.

Licheng is the first city near the southwest region, it is quite prosperous, but it is much worse than Kyoto, along the way these trees are becoming more and more sparse, I heard that although it is called Licheng, it does not rain for many years, resulting in barren crops, and the people complain of misery. But I have also heard that there is a lot of ore produced here, and many rare ores are mined and used in various industries.

The best Mo used all kinds of precious stones, gold and silver, jasper, crystal, agate, and the rest were dark iron and the like, which could make weapons. Therefore, Licheng is also a city that produces a large number of cold weapons, and every year there will be weapons from Chengtun to the imperial capital, so the most important thing in Licheng is the rich ore boss.

Moreover, they made weapons, secretly made them for outlaws, domesticated soldiers, got acquainted with high-ranking officials, and had such a high status that no one could provoke. It is precisely because of this that Shantai Shengli will take a fancy to this place and take the lead in attacking here.

In the current Li City, most of the people who sell vegetables and meat are from the city next door, and the local people can only live by mining ores. This has created a situation in which the rich are rampant and domineering, and the poor cannot survive. It's just that after I come this time, I'm afraid I don't know what the situation will be here...... Five princes, wait for the recruitment.

Soon, they entered the city of Li, and their carriage circled the streets before they found a restaurant that could still be seen. The groom stopped the carriage, and at this time Xiyue had already replaced the original coachman with his secret guard, in order to better protect the two of them. The little two in the store ran out happily and enthusiastically pointed to the place where the carriage was parked: "Little brother, just park the car over there." ”

Shantai Shengze and Shantai Shengjin jumped out of the carriage one after another, Xiyue pressed the shoulders of Shantai Jin, and jumped lightly to the ground, the cyan skirt rippled out of an elegant arc, and the stunning face made the shopkeeper stunned.

Darkly tied up the horse and glanced at the shopkeeper coolly.

The fierce killer gaze naturally carried an oppressive atmosphere, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he was busy guiding them into the store. Xiyue glanced at Shantai Shengjin, and the meaning was very obvious. When did you raise these people? I don't know anything.

Shantai Shengjin immediately gave her a begging look, and said to him with his mouth, I'll explain it to you when I go to your room at night.

Xiyue's pretty face was slightly red, and she immediately turned her head away and ignored him. This man will only play hooligans with his mouth, hmph, and leave him alone.

"The four of you are eating or staying in a hotel. Xiyue glanced at this restaurant, a three-story attic, the hall is not big, and only three or four tables of guests can be placed. Probably because it was noon, and the table was full.

It was all plainly dressed, dusty, sweaty men, drinking and feasting, and talking loudly to the people next to them.

"It's a bit noisy here, so please take care of the four of you. The shopkeeper also knows that the environment in their inn is not very good, and these four people look either rich or expensive, I hope they don't dislike their own inn.

"Nothing, four rooms, just a few more dishes. Xiyue tilted her head slightly, looked around, retracted her gaze, and said shallowly. The table was made of the most ordinary wood, and there were already some cracks, and there were traces of filth on it, and over the years, the black light stuck to the table, exuding a greasy smell.

Yutai Shengjin frowned, it was the first time he had eaten at such a disgusting table. Although his life in the barracks is not very good, how can his little woman eat in such an environment. Shantai Shengjin glanced at Xiyue beside her, and saw that she was still expressionless, so she hurriedly took out the prepared handkerchief and wiped the table vigorously. And that diligence, like a big dog pleasing its master.

There was also resistance written in Shengze's eyes, but there was no way, so he could only sit there twistedly.

Although he was abused in the palace and did not eat much good things, he used them all well, cleanly, and much better than this barren place.

Xiyue is very clean, but from the moment she sat down, she automatically ignored the greasy table, and her eyes fell on those sweaty men.

Dark One didn't mind, when he was down, he didn't stay in any dirty ground.

When Shentai Shengjin saw Xiyue staring at the man, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. The strong smell of sweat is also due to her strong stamina. However, it is also necessary to know the local workers to find the evidence of the crime more easily. Before the food was served, the four of them looked at the other three tables.

Because it doesn't rain in Licheng all year round, and the sun is shining, it has formed that their skin is slightly dark, and their facial features are relatively rough and unruly. "Hey, the people over there are watching us. One of them, a slender and tall man, noticed them first, glanced at Xiyue's face, didn't stop long, and pushed the person next to him and said.

"What?" the other man was gnawing on the leg of mutton, raised his greasy face, glanced at them, and continued to eat indifferently, "People in the big place, I haven't seen it, just take a few more looks, it's all finished, hurry up and go to work." ”

"Hey, don't say it, I've grown so big, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman, it's just a fairy. The opening of the other table said.

"The goddess is not yours, eat your food. The sturdy man who spoke first tugged at the corners of his mouth and climbed down to take a few bites of food.

Everyone heard what these people said, and Xiyue couldn't help but smile when she heard their conversation. These people are simple and honest.

But Shantai Shengjin couldn't help frowning, and directly grabbed Xiyue, declaring his sovereignty to everyone.

The smile on Xiyue's face became even brighter, this man......

Anyway, in front of Shantai Shengze, their relationship has long been no secret, even if they show something in front of him, it's nothing. And now she is wearing women's clothes, and the people here don't know him at all, Xiyue still doesn't believe that her reputation can spread so far.

"Hey, you're cooking. The shopkeeper ran in and put the two dishes on the table, and the oil and water splashed out.

Xiyue looked down and said that it was an exaggeration of oil and water, but it was just a little oil star. A dish is probably fried cabbage, and the cabbage has withered and yellowed, and even the cabbage head is fried in it. The second plate is what kind of meat, stewed potatoes, rough knife skills and strange heat, directly stewed it to a pulp.

This dish......

It's really bohemian. Shantai Shengjin and Shantai Shengze directly stared out their eyes.

Can this really be eaten? Won't it eat the dead......

Can they go out and buy a steamed bun and eat it with water? Looking at the strange expressions of these four people, the shopkeeper knew in his heart, and could only scratch his head embarrassedly: "Don't dislike the four, we don't produce crops in Weicheng, and the vegetables and meat that we can have are not very fresh, but haven't our people here also grown so big, don't worry, you won't get sick after eating." ”

"Hmm" Xi Yue never dared to start with the chopsticks she was holding, and the roughness of this dish had greatly exceeded her expectations. Fortunately, there is some dry food in the car, I really can't eat it, so I'll go back to the house in a while.

The other three didn't mean to move their chopsticks at all.

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, wiped the sweat with the handkerchief on his shoulder, and turned away.

"I kind of regret letting you come. Shantai Shengjin sighed in dismay, and wanted to lie on the table, but suddenly found that the table was very dirty, so he could only sit with his arms crossed. Although this is not unbearable for him, he is distressed, how can his own Xi'er live in such a place.

Shantai Shengze slowly picked up the chopsticks, took a cabbage and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and couldn't see any expression on his face. For the first time, he knew that there was such a big gap between people in the world. In the past, in the palace, although I had been listening to my husband's teachings, and I also hoped that I would ascend the throne in the future, and be a good emperor who was diligent and loved the people, and helped the people improve their lives, but I never thought that the gap between people could be so big.

Once again, the master's teachings swirled deeply in his mind, and his thoughts were even stronger.

Only when I got out of the palace did I know what kind of life those people were living. It's like this cabbage, if it is sent to the palace, it is a delicacy worth 100 gold, and when it is sent to the Licheng restaurant, it is a dish that is difficult to swallow.

After Xiyue and the others rested in the inn, and after tidying up at noon, Xiyue took the two of them out to take a stroll on the streets. The main reason why she agreed to bring the two of them over this time was that she wanted to go to the stage and experience the people's suffering. After all, she has always believed that theory is never important in practice, and practice can produce true knowledge.
