The people are most afraid of the chaos in the world, and there are several signs before the chaos in the world, first of all, the corruption of officialdom, followed by the rise of the powerful and powerful, and then the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, the rise of thieves, and then the people's misery.

Chen Lian feels that he is probably still in the step of officialdom corruption.

However, with people like Jiao Zijin stirring up in it, and Pei Mang and Xiao Ziqing don't seem to be very smart people, this speed will be infinitely accelerated.

But the collapse of the country does not happen overnight, and the process will continue for at least a decade.

Therefore, the ten years given by Yin Juan is really too little.

He will choose Xuan Ye, which can be regarded as being short and tall among the four kings.

If there was a better candidate, he would not hesitate to give up Xuan Ye - after all, this person is a bit of a love brain in Chen Lian's memory.

Jiao Zijin, in fact, strictly speaking, can be regarded as the material of the emperor.

But this kind of person who is proficient in power and scheming to this point can be a hero in troubled times, but he cannot be a benevolent monarch in a peaceful and prosperous world.

As for Pei Mang, a traverser, looking at his reforms, although they are useful to the people, they are moving too fast, but they touch the interests of some people and make the regime system collapse.

He favored the princess of Yueguo, but the main reason why Wei was in such a mess was that the main reason was those reforms.

It's just that he is almost certain that it is inevitable that Pei Mang will be scolded in the future, and that Lin Duruo, the princess of the Yue Kingdom, will be regarded as a person who is like a red face and a disaster.

Praise smiles, Xi Shi holds his heart, Daji tortures, and is beautiful...... After the fame of every peerless beauty, there is a collapsed country and an unkind king.

After sleeping in the suburbs with Leer several times, Chen Lian finally found a small mountain village.

They traveled north from Pixian, a small city on the border of Wei, preparing to go to Loulan.

"Childe, I'll knock on the door!" Le'er Xu was so excited that she ran directly into the village.

Chen Lian walked slowly, and squinted his eyes when he saw the towering locust tree at the entrance of the village with a lot of red cloth.

If you look closely, it is only dusk, but there is no smoke rising in this village, and if it were not for the occasional sound of chickens and dogs barking, it might make people think that there is no one in the village anymore.

Chen Lian came to the well at the entrance of the village and glanced inside, his eyes slightly condensed.

He stared at the well for a long time, and then looked around the well carefully, and then walked towards the village, and behind him his mount, the yellow donkey, Xiaohua, obediently followed him.

The name Xiaohua, he took it.

He thought it was better than the name Le'er.

As soon as Chen Lian entered the village, he saw Le'er coming this way, and behind her, followed by a woman with a sallow face and a skinny look.

"Childe, Childe." Le'er walked up to Chen Lian and whispered, "This village seems to be a little different. The woman was five steps away from them, and Le Er said to Chen Lian.

"When I entered the village, I knocked on the doors of several houses. There were obviously people inside, but there was no response. There were a few houses with their doors open, and it was difficult for me to get in. Only this woman opened the door and asked if we were passing by and if we would like to stay overnight. ”

Le Er finally said a little pitifully: "This village is a bit weird, or we would still sleep in the wilderness." ”

"Just stay here." Chen Lian's eyebrows were like ancient wells, without the slightest wave, "Does this woman have any requirements?" ”

"Yes, I want to receive ten taels of silver." Speaking of this, Le'er's expression was a little strange.

Ten taels of silver, which can allow her to stay in the best inn in Longding for two or three nights.

This woman asked for such a price when she opened her mouth, which is also an important reason why Le'er doesn't like it here.

She could see that these people were poor, and they were willing to give themselves what they should have been given, and they didn't even mind giving more.

But the lion's wide opening did not make people feel unappetizing.

"Give it to her."

Le'er pouted and honestly gave the woman ten taels of silver.

The woman's eyes were so excited that tears fell, and she almost didn't kneel down to kowtow to Chen Lian and Le'er.

Le'er: "This person doesn't look like a bad person." ”

Chen Lian did not answer, and followed the woman in the direction of her house.

On the next road, Chen Lian didn't take much effort to find out the woman's identity.

The woman's name was Shu Niang, a widow with a six-year-old daughter.

But I don't know if my daughter is asleep, Chen Lian and Le'er didn't see her daughter when they went to her house.

Shu Niang lives in the middle of the village, the house is built of mud, the area is not big or small, after entering, Chen Lian found that in addition to the dried vegetables in the yard, the family is very poor.

"Master Fu, Miss Le'er, that's all the farmer can eat, don't dislike it." Shu Niang rubbed her hands, and looked at the two of them with some apprehension.

Le'er looked at the gnocchi soup on the table, as well as the vegetable dumplings, and a plate of pickles, and the goodwill in her heart because of Shu Niang's warm words just now was completely gone.

Her face sank, her hand clutched her chopsticks tightly, and she seemed to be about to lose her temper the next moment.

Chen Lian sandwiched a vegetable dumpling and took a bite, which was very astringent, but he ate it expressionlessly, and drank another mouthful of gnocchi soup: "Auntie's craftsmanship is very good, please trouble my aunt to find some hay to feed my donkey." ”

Hearing Chen Lian's praise, Le'er was like a deflated ball, and she honestly ate this coarse grain.

Shu Niang breathed a sigh of relief and left with a smile.

Le'er put down her chopsticks and looked at Chen Lian distressedly: "Childe, if you can't eat it, don't force yourself." This Shu Niang really can't see it from the outside, she gave her ten taels of silver, and only gave us this! ”

Chen Lian has a good appetite, and he has raised the delicacies of the mountains and seas over the years, even if it is a porridge and side dish, it is also made by Bai Zhi's hands that turn decay into magic.

Chen Lian drank the gnocchi soup and ate half of the vegetable dumplings, then put down the chopsticks and said: "At most, I will run a few times to the thatched house, if I don't eat, Shu Niang will feel uncomfortable." ”

Le'er was simply dumbfounded, and she didn't see that Chen Lian was so pitiful and cherished.

It's not right, when Chen Lian was above the main hall, he personally admitted that he liked men, but the four countries knew it.

Even if Le'er knew that those words were just used to prevaricate, she still felt that Chen Lian didn't understand the amorous feelings, and she didn't care about giving birth to a good face, but she didn't pity the fragrance and jade at all.

How can I pity this Shu Niang so much today.

She thought about Shu Niang's posture carefully...... I don't know how it was when it was good, but now I am skinny, yellow and thin, and I really don't have any posture at all.

The only thing that's different is that she's a widow!

Le'er felt as if she had spied on some secret, so she quickly lowered her head and absentmindedly ate both the gnocchi soup and the dumplings and pickles.

Chen Lian ignored Le'er's unpredictable expression, and calmly went to his room.

"I'm sorry Master Fu, I only have one house here that can live in people, can I trouble you and Sister Ling to live in one room?"

Shu Niang, who had just fed Xiaohua in the yard, said very embarrassedly.

When Le'er came out and heard this, she was about to laugh angrily, this was really the ten taels of silver she spent the most.

It is said that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and she sees that she is a fan of wealth!
