In the end, Wei Chi still did not agree to let Shang Kelan go to the inn alone.

Midnight in the capital is not so quiet, the order here does not seem to be as strict as that of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if the time is almost midnight, there are still many small shops on both sides of the street, and there are people walking back and forth on the street, but most of them are men.

It is said that the system of the Jin State was even more ignorant and feudal than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ah Sheng was dressed in a gray tunic and he followed behind Shang Kelan, only two steps away from her.

The two were silent, neither of them speaking first.

Finally, Ah Sheng broke the silence: "Actually, the night in the Jin Kingdom is indeed not as peaceful as it seems on the surface, and I can understand why His Highness must let me take you to the inn." ”

As soon as the words fell, several men walked in front of them.

They were drunk, deliberately stopped in front of Shang Kelan, and looked at her with squinting eyes, "Yo, you can still meet a big beauty in this big night, come with my brother, my brother won't treat you badly!" ”

After that, these people surrounded Shang Kelan and Wei Chi.

Shang Kelan was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at Ah Sheng in some surprise: "It's a bit surprising that your words were answered so quickly." ”

Ah Sheng's face was indifferent, he stepped forward to protect Shang Kelan, and scolded these people: "Blind your dog's eyes!" Even my master dares to stop him? ”

was scolded by Ah Sheng like this, and several people were excited, and they seemed to be much more sober.

But soon, the leader came back to his senses and sneered: "I don't care who the master of your family is, but the princess is behind us, and if you know each other, you should hurry up and hand over this woman to me!" Otherwise, don't blame the brothers for being unkind to you! ”

"The crown princess?"

Shang Kelan's eyes were slightly stunned, and she didn't recover from this information for a while.

When did Wei Chi get married? She had never heard Jin Yantang mention it!

Ah Sheng couldn't help but sneer: "Hey, the woman His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes died three years ago, and Wang Guifei just casually found the daughter of a criminal minister from the Great Zhou Dynasty and pretended to be the crown princess, besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never worshiped the world with that Zhang Ruxue, what kind of princess is that Zhang Ruxue?" ”

The daughter of the criminal minister, Zhang Ruxue......

This information is a little strange, as far as she knows, isn't that Zhang Ruxue Li Chenxiu's wife?

Besides, she had a brief relationship with Zhang Ruxue before, and that woman didn't seem to be a person who would condone her subordinates to commit such a traitor.

For a while, Shang Kelan decided not to move, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she silently observed the people on both sides.

The guys who surrounded them were drunken drunkards, all with fat heads and big ears, and their eyes full of evil colors, and they were fierce.

Hearing what Wei Chi said, the fat man at the head took another sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Boy, are you very clear about the origin of the crown princess?" But you don't seem to be the Crown Princess's person. ”

"You don't need to know who I am, but since you're the woman's dogleg, don't blame me for taking your life!"

After saying that, Ah Sheng's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed straight at the fat man.

So fast!

The sword aura is also very powerful!

It seems that this Ah Sheng is not an ordinary guard!

Shang Kelan's eyes changed, and she unconsciously took a few steps back. Die Literature Network

"Pounce!"

The long sword entered the flesh and slashed through the neck, and the fat man didn't have time to react at all, maintaining the smile just now, and fell down like this!

It was terrible, but with a single blow, the fat man's accomplices began to retreat cowardly, and they did not stop them, and fled in all directions.

"Hmph, want to run? It's too late! ”

Ah Sheng's eyes were cold, and he raised his sword to chase after them.

When he faced these people, it was a one-sided slaughter!

Soon, the men fell to the ground, let out a few screams in quick succession, and then fell silent.

Strangely, such a scene did not cause a sensation among the people around them, the vendors still set up their stalls to entertain customers, and the customers still ate noodles calmly, as if they could not see this scene, and they seemed to be numb.

Yes, numbness, as if it was a habit of this scene.

Shang Kelan was stunned for a moment, withdrew her gaze from these people, turned to look at Ah Sheng, and couldn't help but lower her voice: "Why don't these people seem to see this scene?" They seem to be somewhat numb. ”

Ah Sheng withdrew his sword, and the cold and terrifying aura on his body disappeared.

He swept around the diners and vendors, and then smiled at Shang Kelan, "Isn't this normal?" Most of the Jin Kingdom fell into the hands of Wang Guifei, and the powerful people who supported her behind the woman naturally acted recklessly and were no longer bound by the national law of the Jin Kingdom. ”

"Later, people were beheaded every day in the vegetable market, and there were fewer and fewer girls in the capital, and some people had begun to flee outside, and now those who remained were either the children of the powerful or the people who had nowhere to go, so what else did they care about? Over time, they become insensitive. ”

In contrast, the Butterfly Dream Tower is more popular than the street outside.

As Ah Sheng explained, Shang Kelan carefully observed the eyes of these passers-by, diners, and vendors, but found that there was a deep layer of gloom in their eyes, and their eyes were full of desperate gray, and there was no hope in sight.

Is that all there is to it?

The people of the Jin Kingdom, can it only be like this?

Shang Kelan's heart inexplicably rose with compassion, and she couldn't help sighing: "Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering."

She doesn't sympathize with the suffering of these people, she just pity the living beings who are oppressed by bullies and killed by the powerful.

They could have had a rich life, but because the dynasty was controlled by the wrong people, they had to decay and fall with the dynasty, which was a sad and helpless thing.

Ah Sheng said, inadvertently glanced at Shang Kelan, but saw her frowning slightly, and her eyes naturally revealed a kind of unbearability and compassion.

This kind of look, he had seen in Wei Chi.

Gradually, Ah Sheng's voice slowly stopped, Shang Kelan withdrew his gaze from these people, and continued to walk forward, as for the people who fell to the ground around them, there would be officers and soldiers to deal with them immediately.

She unconsciously slowed down and chatted with Ah Sheng.

"Now in the entire Jin Kingdom, how many cities are facing such a situation as sealing the capital?"

Ah Sheng shook his head: "Originally, I shouldn't have told you these things, after all, your identity ...... But my master seems to be nice to you, so I don't think it's okay to tell you these things. ”

"Actually, what you see now, and what I just said, is only a small part of the situation, the farther away from the city of the closed capital, the worse the situation becomes, maybe there are no young men in many towns and villages now, right?"

Why?

Almost subconsciously, as soon as this answer popped up in her head, Shang Kelan had a flash of inspiration and couldn't help but reply: "It's Wang Guifei, have you started to catch strong men?" ”
