This journey is like walking in a time and space tunnel, and the northern county where the Zhenbei Wangwang City is located is prosperous, and the people have smiles on their faces no matter inside or outside the city. But out of the northern county, the prosperity of a county is almost like a county, and when it comes out of the northern Xinjiang, what is presented in front of Xuanyuan Yi is depression and ruin-
The market in the big city is still lively, the small city is withered, the market is full of pedestrians, there are more errands and evil slaves rampant, from time to time there is a sound of pleading, the hardships of the people, can not help but make people cry.
The countryside outside the city is also depressed, the people are ragged under the scorching sun, there are vegetables on their faces, and there are even evil servants who urge rent to cause disaster to the village, and the crying is piercing to the heart, which is very different from the peaceful and prosperous era in the book!
After more than ten days of seeing and hearing, Xuanyuan Yi couldn't help but be heartbroken, and when he traveled to Beiwei County in the evening of this day, he was physically and mentally exhausted and unable to move forward, so he had to stop in a small village outside the county town and prepare to spend the night at the head of the village.
"Hey, who are you?"
"Uncle, boy Xuanyuan Yi has traveled so far, I don't know if I want to borrow it for a night?"
"This?"
The head of the household's name was Niu Laoshi, about forty years old, six feet two or three tall, with dark and wrinkled skin, a face full of vegetables, pale lips and bloodless, and astringent eyes. The reason why he hesitated was because he had a wife and daughter at home, and it was inconvenient for a strange man to stay overnight, but he didn't want to let Xuanyuan Yi misunderstand.
"Uncle, a little bit of heart is rewarded, the kid just asks for a seat."
"This ......, alas, come in quickly, the money will not be necessary."
"Thank you, uncle, this money is not much, you can accept it."
"Ah, this ......, Xianggong, this is a lot!"
Niu Laoshi held the copper coin handed by Xuanyuan Yi, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this is enough to be half-coherent, and he can't earn it in a year.
"Don't be polite, keep it for the family, if it's convenient, please give food to make the kid hungry."
"Ah, oh, wait a minute, the little old man will prepare immediately."
After seeing Xuanyuan Yi's clothes and the horse he was riding, Niu honestly knew that he had met a nobleman, and immediately excitedly called his wife and daughter to buy chicken and prepare wine, and prepared a feast for Xuanyuan Yi.
It was getting dark, the banquet was ready, and Xuanyuan Yi, who had finished feeding the horses, was invited to sit down for dinner, only to be surprised to find that there were only two female dependents in Niu Laoshi's family.
"......, old man, it's the kid who is reckless, I don't know that there are only two female dependents in your house, and the abrupt place is looking at Haihan, so the kid will leave."
"Xianggong, what are you doing here?"
"Alas, if a gentleman doesn't peep into the dark room, how can he stay in the inner courtyard to misunderstand the master's reputation."
“……”
Just when Niu Laoshi didn't know what to do, there was a sudden crispness outside the low wall, like a yellow warbler singing, which was very heartstringing.
"Hmph, how can the children of the rivers and lakes be obsessed with small sections, if the son has no ghosts in his heart, why should he be so particular?"
"......, who is Fangjia, don't you feel rude if you are uninvited?"
"Hehe, we are also study tours, and we only came to stay because we missed the city gate retreat. Uncle, our sisters have traveled so far and want to spend the night, I don't know if it's okay? ”
"This? There is only one spare room in my house, and this husband came first......"
"Hehe, uncle, this son is a righteous gentleman, and he won't stay here overnight, so let's let the two sisters live in this empty room. Oops, I'm hungry after a day of running, Xiaoyue, come over and eat. ”
"This ......, this ......, Xianggong, you ......"
"Hehe, uncle, you don't have to worry about him, come over and eat, decent people and gentlemen are upright, and they would rather starve to death than be rude, you just let him go."
Seeing the two female robbers sitting in the hospital, Xuanyuan Yi couldn't help but be stunned, he had grown so big, it was the first time he had seen such a bold girl, especially such a young one-
The one who spoke, twenty-eight years old, six feet seven eight tall, willow posture, a white shirt and a strong bundle, set off the face of melon seeds, a pair of almond phoenix eyes under the crescent eyebrows, like black jewels, looking heroic and pretty. Its mouth is as small as a cherry, and its nose is like a hanging gall, which is the appearance of a captivating city and a country, but it is a pity that the dark yellow complexion is full of spots, which really lives up to this beautiful embryo.
The one in the back is also twenty-eight Fanghua, six feet six or seven tall, with a delicate waist, a black shirt and a strong bundle, setting off a round face with snow skin, a pair of slanted eyes under the eyebrows, showing a cunning and lively nature, with a slightly concave mouth, with a shallow smile, although there is no alluring appearance, it is also a top-grade beauty.
Xuanyuan Yi looked at the two girls, and didn't want to stay any longer, so he immediately gave up his hand and said goodbye: "Uncle, the kid has no intention of being abrupt, Wan Qi Haihan, this is my resignation."
"Xianggong, you ......"
"Oh, uncle, don't persuade him anymore, for a righteous gentleman, it is more uncomfortable to keep him overnight than to kill him, just let him go. Hey, this son, our sisters have built a grass hut at the entrance of the village, if you don't dislike it, go and live, there are no female dependents there. ”
"......, thank you Fang Jia for informing me, I'm leaving."
Xuanyuan Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, he thought that he would have to sleep in the wilderness, but he didn't expect that there was a grass hut to live in, he was really satisfied.
Saying goodbye to everyone, Xuanyuan Yi led the horse to the entrance of the village, and really saw a grass shed, he tied the horse into it to take a look, and found that it was not only covered with thick soft grass, but also lit wormwood to repel insects.
"Haha, the sky really treats me well, I can finally sleep peacefully tonight."
After more than ten days of travel, Xuanyuan Yi truly experienced the decline of the empire, even if he had a lot of money, there were few guest houses for pedestrians to board, and the wealth and strength of the central empire seemed to be a thing of the past. He, the prince of Zhenbei, has been sleeping in the open for more than ten days, and he has long lost his pampering habits at the beginning, and he feels very happy to have a grass hut to live in.
Holding the sword and pillow bow lying on the soft grass, Xuanyuan Yi's mind was full of what he had seen and heard these days, scenes of dilapidated depression, ragged and weak figures, and sickly faces, which made him cry uncontrollably, and the infinite madness in his heart, what happened to the rich and powerful empire?
"Alas, the first emperor wielded an iron-blooded battle, unified the Yanlong and allied the gods to Dufeng, and created a prosperous era of 'nine kingdoms standing side by side, Yanlong is respected', what a hero! Why did his descendants be so indisputable, letting hundreds of years of glory go down the drain? Shame, shame, I, Xuanyuan Yi, swear by this blood, my life will revive Yanlong, and I will never make the people so hard again, never! Never!! ”
"Hehe, you want to rebel?"
"Who?"
Xuanyuan Yi jumped up suddenly, the Tiangang sword flashed like a meteor, and the next second he still kissed the neck of the spot-faced girl.
"Yohe, do you want to kill Miss Ben?"
