"Master, the disciple is incompetent, please forgive the master." The cloaked man shuddered and dragged his stiff body in salute.

"Hmph, you can say this to Her Royal Highness the Princess." The barefoot old man in gray snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with his performance.

"Your Highness, you and the two girls will leave here first." Qianxue said in a low voice, this is a strong person in the Wang Realm, although her strength is refined, she is not 100% confident to protect Jingge.

She was a little annoyed that she hadn't been able to find this person before, and she was careless.

The barefoot old man stared at the four of them like eagles, as if he were looking at his prey.

Jing Ge's face was fearless, calm and relative, even in the face of a malicious king, he was calm and calm.

"I've seen the Hearth Ash Venerable." Jing Ge took a step forward, bowed his hand, and made a junior salute.

"Oh?" The barefoot old man was slightly surprised, that kid could actually recognize him?

"Listening to the accent, the two are not from the Central Plains, and they just mentioned Her Royal Highness the princess, presumably referring to the strange woman in Xiliang. Therefore, the kid guessed wildly, and the predecessor was the retainer of the retainer, the Hearth Ash Venerable. Jing Ge explained with a smile.

He once asked Wei Zifu for information about the world's most influential figures, and he kept in mind the brief information of the kings and powerhouses of various countries. And the man's reaction just now had already verified his suspicions.

"Yes, the old man is. So, who are you? The old man asked.

"The boy's surname is Jing Mingge, Da Qin Feiyang, and his father is Jing Qing, the former generalissimo of soldiers and horses." Jing Ge replied.

"You know that the old man is a person from Xiliang, and he still reports his family like this, aren't you afraid that the old man will attack you? You must know that your father Jing Qing led the army to block my Xiliang in Yanmen for twenty years. Or are you confident that your little maid will be able to protect you? The barefoot old man looked sarcastic.

"Venerable said with a smile, how could you, a powerful person of the King Realm, surrender his identity and make a move on an honest junior like me." Jing Ge replied with a smile.

To say that he doesn't know his identity, it's absolutely impossible, could it be that he is really passing through here?

It's better to put it bluntly, but the impression is better. Most of the seemingly coincidental things in the world are the result of careful planning.

Just, why is he here? To kill yourself? I'm afraid that he doesn't have such a big face now, so let him venture thousands of miles deep into the hinterland of Great Qin.

"You kid has a bit of your father's bones. I didn't intend to make a move on you, but seeing your bearing, now I have to think about whether to get rid of you before the climate is ready, so as not to become a roadblock for me in the future. The barefoot old man said, his eyes gradually murderous, and there was a gray mist surging around.

Qian Xue clenched the long sword in her hand, the white mist became thicker, if she tried her best, she might not be able to kill this king realm. But at least it is okay to buy time for His Highness to escape for his life.

Yun'er also raised her hand lightly and held down the Phoenix Guqin, where there were three sword qi sealed by Qi Lao.

"You old horseman, you have to weigh it carefully, if you make a move here and alarm the powerhouse of the King Realm of Great Qin, it's hard to say whether you can retreat with your whole body." Yu Jue suddenly said that although the strong people of various countries have conflicts from time to time, they are still quite united when it comes to the outside world.

Although Yu Jue's words were rude, he hit the nail on the head, and it happened to be what he was afraid of.

Qianxue moved at the right time, holding the frost sword upside down with both hands and touching it lightly on the ground. The crystal-white lines spread like a snake in all directions, like a huge snowflake, dispelling the gray mist wherever it went.

The barefoot old man glanced at Qianxue, although this girl is only a newcomer to the grandmaster, her strength is amazing, and she really can't help her for a while.

If it alarmed the other kings of Great Qin, it would really not be easy to get out. The field hides the unicorn, the shallow Tan Lying Dragon, and there are many capable people like cow hair. It's better not to take risks if you go deep alone. The barefoot old man thought to himself.

"Hmph, it's a long time coming." He left a sentence and took his apprentice with him, and sped away.

Jing Ge watched them leave expressionlessly, with a lot of questions in his heart, and he couldn't figure out anything for a while.

When he was in a daze, he suddenly felt a trace of warmth coming from his palm, and turned his head to look. happened to catch up with Yun'er and chuckled.

She was already standing beside Jing Ge, flicking her wrist to hold Jing Ge's hand, and her imperceptible movements were intimate and natural.

Jing Ge also clenched his palms gently, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Even when the Furnace Ash Venerable was thinking of killing, she did not feel the slightest nervousness.

Side by side with you, what is there to fear in life and death?

"What are they doing in the hinterland of the Central Plains?" Chiyuki wondered.

"It doesn't look like it's coming at us, but it just happened to happen." Yu Jue speculated.

Jing Ge also frowned slightly, it was not a good sign to meet the Furnace Ash Venerable here, especially when he was about to go to Xiliang.

"It's only a few hundred miles away from the imperial capital, maybe Xiliang has some conspiracy to deal with and disturb Great Qin, and take the opportunity to send troops." Yu Yun said that she had heard about Xiliang's troops stationed on the border of Daqin.

Jing Ge nodded, this is the most likely, Xiliang's father and daughter have been waiting for an opportunity to break through the Yanmen Pass.

"Let the imperial capital pay attention, tell me if there is anything." Jing Ge commanded Qianxue.

"Huh? Do you have your own men in the Imperial Capital? Yu Jue was curious, Jing Ge was just a powerless prince, and he shouldn't have any eyes and ears.

"Of course." Jing Ge replied with a smile, but didn't explain much.

"Let's all go back to our rooms and rest, it's getting late." Jing Ge said, this kind of small town, the fight has never alarmed the government or anything like that, which saves a lot of trouble.

Yu Yun returned to the room and lay down for a while, meditated for a while, and then sat up again. Stretching her legs and meditating and puffing up to practice, she has been practicing martial arts for half a year, and she has stepped into the realm of the four grades, and she is very diligent and rarely cultivates without interruption.

Because she knew that the man was working harder, he was worried about the safety of everyone, hoping to hold up an umbrella for them to shelter from the wind and rain. So she also worked hard so that she could help him in the future.

At dawn, Jing Ge and his party continued to hurry, not in a straight line to the northwest border, but along Jing Ge's pre-planned route in a zigzag pattern. Understanding the customs and famous mountains and rivers of Daqin is also one of the purposes of his trip.

"This area is the territory of Yicheng, obviously it is the autumn harvest season, and there is a lot of farming, how can there be such a serious famine?" Yu Yun said, her expression could not be seen through the veil, but her frowning eyebrows could be seen.

On the way over, I came across a lot of scrawny corpses, as if they had been starved to death.

"Go find someone to find out what's going on." Jing Ge commanded.

His subordinate guards stepped forward to stop a man and brought him to Jing Ge.

"I've seen adults." The man lay deep on the ground, his thin body trembling involuntarily, obviously frightened.

There are more than a dozen soldiers in armor to guard, presumably which big lord it is, most of them are not easy to mess with.

Jing Ge dismounted and helped him up.

"Don't panic, get up and talk."

"The little ones don't dare." The man would not get up.

Jing Ge was no longer reluctant, and asked directly.

"Why are so many of you starving to death here? These crops are clearly growing well, and there should be no famine. ”

"Lord Hui, it's those Diao people who deserve to die." The man replied tremblingly.

"Huh?!"

"We are not local officials, we are from the imperial capital, and in front of you is His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhenguo, Great Qin Feiyang." Qianxue was thoughtful and said directly.

This person was so scared, and what he saw along the way, it must have been caused by the bullying of the officials in this place.

"If you tell me the truth, he will make decisions for you." Yun'er immediately added.

"What? We were just passing through. Jing Ge looked confused, the officials of Daqin were under the management of the Prime Minister's Office. Generally, princes have no right to transfer officials unless they have a holy decree or a decree.

"We're going to the Northwest Frontier, don't ......"

Yun'er just looked at him fixedly, her eyes were as clear as water, without a trace of impurities.

"No... No... Won't sit idly by. Jing Ge choked back the sentence Don't be nosy, and changed her words. Let's talk about what's going on. ”

The corners of Yun'er's eyebrows are curved, and her pretty face under the veil is smiling. How could he be such a kind person.

Hearing this, the man slowly raised his head, and looked at the people in front of him who seemed to be a little different from those officials in the city, and looked much kinder.

He gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to knock his head on the ground a few times. Crying, "If the adults can really call the shots, let the city lord collect less taxes, and the small ones are willing to be cattle and horses." ”

How much grain does the lord levy? Jing Ge asked.

"Eighty percent."

"Eighty?!"

"Then how much do you have to hand over for what you have collected from cultivating the wasteland and cultivating the fields yourself?" Jing Ge continued to ask.

"It's also eighty percent."

"Then do you know the new decree issued by the prime minister, the newly expanded arable land can be owned by oneself, and only one percent of the tax needs to be paid?" Chiyuki interjected.

The man shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"This looting is too ruthless, and it doesn't give people a way out." Yu Jue said indignantly.

"How many subordinates does this Yicheng City Lord have?" Jingge asked.

"Back to my lord, there are many, not a thousand, but also eight hundred."

"Well, I already know. You can just go back and wait for the news. Jing Ge nodded and asked his subordinates to bring him some food.

"The city lord of Yicheng is named Zhang Yi, he is one of the top students in the main hall exam half a year ago, and he was assigned here to serve as the city lord, how could a scholar do such a thing." Yu Yun said that she had seen the list of appointments in the imperial capital, and she never forgot it, and she can still remember it clearly.

"Go in and see." Jingge galloped towards the city gate.

At the gate of the city, there were several strong men guarding it, and their clothes and armor were loose. Extremely casual, with fierce eyes, scars and tattoos on his face, glaring at civilians, scolding, kicking and beating at the slightest displeasure.

"Who's coming?" When they saw Jing Ge and his party, they were obviously a little different.

The one at the head is an ordinary-looking son, very young, and the three veiled women next to him have exquisite figures, and they don't need to look at their faces to know that they are the national color and fragrance.

The eyes of several guards wandered over the three women, ignoring Jing Ge for a while, ** exposed. But they also saw that the four of them were followed by more than a dozen well-trained armor soldiers, most of whom had some background.

"Daqin Feiyang, quickly call your city lord to come out to greet you." Qianxue said, holding the frost sword in her arms, her eyes cold.

"These people don't look like normal guards, they look like bandits in the mountains and forests." Yu Jue muttered.

"They're mountain bandits." Jing Ge sat on the horse and said lightly.

"Hurry up and report to the city lord."

One of them quickly ran into the city to report it.

"Boss, there's a flying wait outside the city gate, it may be sent from the imperial capital." A guard at the city gate rushed into the city lord's mansion to report.

"Huh? How many centaurs are there? The man known as the boss pushed away the disheveled courtesan in his arms, jumped up and asked with a nervous expression.

"About a dozen." The guard said.

"Oh, it's only about a dozen people, and I'm so scared that I thought I had brought tens of thousands of troops over." He looked around and laughed, relieved, the flesh on his face shaking with the smile.

Left and right echoed, and laughed.

"Let's go, go out and see what is sacred." He led the way out, dragging a huge machete with a deep mark on the ground.

"Why haven't you come yet?" Yu Jue couldn't bear it.

"Here we are." Qianxue saw a group of people scattered out of the city wearing armor that didn't fit well.

"Which one is the city councilor? Come out and speak. Jing Ge's entourage asked.
