After a silent journey, Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan finally arrived at their destination, and the barren scene along the way made them think deeply about this trip.

Although Gu Ziyuan hopes to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests with Bai Rong, he can't live up to those soldiers who follow his father, and as a prince, seeing such a bad situation in his own country that is far from the word prosperity, it still makes him firm up his way of being an official at one time, and wants to let more people live a life of food and clothing while grasping power, Gu Ziyuan thinks that this ideal is not too much.

Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan had similar thoughts, she couldn't help but think that if these people lived in modern times, they would not suffer from hunger, so she also wanted to do her meager help for this era.

"Old thing, you dare to rob me!" The piercing shouts interrupted Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan's thoughts at the same time, the two of them thought about what they were thinking just now, and looked at each other in unison, and after they saw the firmness in each other's eyes, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan approached the source of the sound, only to find that it was actually a young man who was frantically beating an old man.

Seeing this, Bai Rong couldn't help but stop him: "Stop." ”

She walked forward quickly.

The man looked at Gu Ziyuan behind Bai Rong, and felt that it was a little difficult to provoke, so he glared at the two of them and immediately left, and muttered quickly as he left: "Nosy." The man's voice was like a voice change, so awkward that it was hard not to notice.

Bai Rong ignored it, and she carefully straightened the old man's collapsed body.

The old man held a gray yellow flour cake in his arms, the cake was not big, full of cracks, but the old man regarded it as a treasure, and the old man finally stood up tremblingly with the help of Bai Rong, and his messy hair and beard blocked his vicissitudes of life.

"Thanks, thanks." The old man's voice was full of dryness, and the old man raised his weather-beaten hands, as if he wanted to hand the piece of bread to Bai Rong.

How could Bai Rong ask for it, she looked at the old man gently, "No need for the old man, you can keep it for yourself." ”

The old man didn't take it back, so Gu Ziyuan walked up to him again, lowered his waist and asked him, "Old man, do you know which direction the county government here is?" ”

The old man slowly pointed in one direction.

Gu Ziyuan nodded, indicating that he already knew.

Bai Rong saw that he was really pitiful, so he took the bag

He took out a piece of dry food and put it in the old man's hand.

"Thank you for showing us the way."

After this experience, Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan just wanted to go to the yafu as soon as possible.

When they arrived at the county office, the two of them were not surprised when they saw the dilapidated state of the government as they thought in their hearts, and Gu Ziyuan knocked on the door directly.

The rather heavy door opened from the inside, and a servant poked his head out from inside: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Hello." The official looked a little young, and Gu Ziyuan said to him, "I am the newly arrived county commander. ”

The little official was a little surprised, and his hand on the door was loosened: "It turned out that the champion had arrived." ”

"Please come in." He looked a little nervous.

Smiling kindly, Bai Rong followed Gu Ziyuan into the yafu, the yafu was not big, and the structure was clear at a glance.

Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan looked at the lobby of the yafu while waiting for the little yagong, but there was nothing to look at.

After a while, the two saw the little official bring the account office over.

The bookkeeper looked to be in his forties, not fat or thin, and he walked towards the two with a smile.

"This is the champion father, it's really a blessing for the lower officials to be able to meet the champion here." He saluted the two of them before saying, "The official's surname is Xie, and I have seen Master Gu." ”

Gu Ziyuan returned the salute, "Mr. is polite, this official has just arrived, and I want to ask Mr. Xie for more advice." ”

Bai Rong on the side nodded, this bookkeeper seems to be honest and loyal, I hope he can help them.

"Dare to ask when Mr. will be able to hand over the affairs of the county government with this official?" Gu Ziyuan knew that if he wanted to do something, he must first understand the truth, so he asked.

But the bookkeeper rejected him, "It's not early today, presumably the two of them must be tired from the exhaustion, the lower official will arrange for someone to take the two to rest, and the affairs here, the lower official will know everything tomorrow." ”

Gu Ziyuan looked at the sky that had not yet darkened, his smile gradually deepened, he seemed to think for a while, and then nodded, "Okay, then trouble Mr." ”

The bookkeeper also nodded, whispered a few words to the little servant and took his leave.

"I'm a servant of the county government, and I'll take the two of you to the backyard to rest later." The little official looked respectful, and he felt that Zhuang Yuanlang must be a very remarkable person, and he would definitely be able to lead them to a better life.

"Then you'll have to work for you." Bai Rong looked at the little servant with kindness, and the little servant also seemed to be motivated, and hurried to the front to lead the way for Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan.

The place where they were staying was a clean courtyard, and the little servant ran away with a slight red cheek as soon as they brought them, and they had to explore on their own.

The yard was not very spacious, but the shriveled saplings and a few bushes of withered yellow grass made the yard look very empty, and there were only three rooms in this courtyard, and the two of them each chose one and put down their luggage.

Bai Rong was packing his luggage and making the bed when he heard a knock on the door, "It's me." Gu Ziyuan's voice outside the door was hazy and low.

"Come in."

Gu Ziyuan walked in, and when he saw the simple furnishings in his room, he couldn't help but speak, "It's better to let you suffer with me." After saying that, Gu Ziyuan regretted it, looked up at Bai Rong, and sure enough, he saw that she also had a look of disapproval.

"We struggle together, we have blessings and hardships, so why do we suffer?" Bai Rong put down the clothes in his hand and laughed out loud as if he couldn't hold back.

Gu Ziyuan couldn't help but be a little stunned for a moment when he saw that she was smiling so well despite the tiredness of the road.

"How long have we known each other, and how much have we borne for each other, you still say this." Bai Rong said with a smile.

That's right, Gu Ziyuan thought like this, they were all so familiar.

Bai Rong suddenly put away his smile, "Let me tell you, I just found out that the money bag was lost at some point." "It looked a little lonely, "I clearly tied it with a rope, it must not have fallen by itself." ”

Gu Ziyuan thought that only the old man had approached Bai Rong's body along the way, and he also understood, he couldn't bear to make Bai Rong even more sad.

It's just that Bai Rong is also clear in his heart.

"When we heal this poor country together, there will be fewer such things." Gu Ziyuan said this, and thought so, with the two of them, they would definitely be able to do it.

"That's right." Bai Rong laughed again, very brightly.

Gu Ziyuan looked at her and couldn't help laughing.

After eating, the two began to discuss business again.

"There will definitely be archives stored in this county government, so let's go where tomorrow to find out." Gu Ziyuan proposed this, and Bai Rong naturally nodded in response.
