Qiong Yin took Xiao Yao and a few people through the streets and alleys, and gradually walked to a slum.

The people in this slum are all in rags, and most of them live in thatched huts, which are dilapidated.

Xiao Yao looked around and sighed: "Really, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." ”

Leng Xiyan heard Xiao Yao's exclamation, and unconsciously compared the bustling street before with the current slum area and sighed: "What a Zhumen, wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." ”

Saying that, she glanced at Xiao Yao deeply, and was able to say such a poem casually, what did Xiao Yao go through.

Xia Motong frowned and looked at the scene around her, now she couldn't figure out why the street was so prosperous just now, but now the place in front of her was so dilapidated.

Ling Shimeng also looked around and asked, "Why, they all live in the same city, why is it like this?"

Leng Lingshuang also said: "This is really two worlds?"

Qiong Yin heard Xiao Yao's discussion and turned around and said: "Actually, we lived quite well at the beginning, although we didn't have much money, but we can still mix a food and clothing, and we can usually eat meat." ”

Xia Motong asked, "Then why did it suddenly become like this?"

Qiongyin looked at the scene around her, and although her footsteps did not stop, her gaze became deep.

Qiong Yin looked at the surrounding streets and said in a deep voice: "Actually, at the beginning, we didn't live here, this is still an empty square, but since An Fan succeeded to the city lord, he issued a lot of new articles and increased taxes, and slowly those of us who have no net worth have our turn to get to this point." ”

Ling Shimeng asked curiously, "Why don't you run out?"

Qiong Yin sighed again and said: "Escape? It's easy to say, it's a vast land outside, it's easy to escape, but then we lose protection, there are a lot of fierce monsters outside, as well as all kinds of poisonous miasma and all kinds of dangers, even the nearest city here is hundreds of miles, it's really impossible to go over." ”

After speaking, she added in a low voice: "Unless you are immortals." ”

Xiao Yao touched Ling Shimeng's little head: "The outside world is very dangerous, even a martial arts master like An Fan is difficult to get out, even if I do, we have to be more careful." ”

Xia Motong frowned and said, "Then, ...... here"

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yao interrupted her and said, "They all have no choice, either they are eaten by fierce beasts outside, or they are surviving here, they just want to live." ”

The look in Xia Motong's eyes flickered faintly, and she seemed to think of why she asked: "Then why don't you resist? Even if you fight, you can at least escape from such a life!"

Qiong Yin sighed heavily and didn't say anything.

Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and rubbed Xia Motong's head and said with a smile: "My Royal Highness the Princess, your thoughts are really naïve!"

Xia Motong shook off Xiao Yao's hand and glared at Xiao Yao angrily and said, "What's the matter?

Xiao Yao put his arm around her shoulders and pointed to the people around him in the tone of an old father to his young daughter, "Motong, look, are they really afraid of death? Are they really afraid of being killed if the uprising fails? No, they are not afraid, it can be said that they are alive now, it is better to die, but they understand one thing better than us, do you know what it is?"

Xia Motong was confused by Xiao Yao's tone, and didn't care about Xiao Yao's hand still on his body and asked, "What do they know?"

Xiao Yao asked rhetorically, "Do you remember why they didn't do this?"

Xia Motong didn't think about it and said: "Because of that An Fan, if he wasn't just for money, no matter why other people's lives would be like this!"

Xiao Yao chuckled and said, "No, do you think that after defeating An Fan, there will be no more Zhang Fan? Li Fan? Why is it difficult to find loyal ministers? Because the human heart is more terrifying than anything in this world!"

Xia Motong was quiet, and he didn't speak while staring at Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao continued: "Do you really think that their enemy is only An Fan? No, who are the rich people in their enemies, to put it mildly, as long as those rich people divide their property, this will not be such a scene, but how many people are willing to take out their money for charity? Even if their money can't be spent in a few lifetimes?"

Xia Motong didn't refute Xiao Yao this time, but asked very modestly, "Why?"

Xiao Yao lit a cigarette for himself and chuckled: "Because, money, power, why does Anfan raise taxes without any objection? Not because he is very strong, but because all those who have money and power can get a piece of the pie, and the victims of all this are the group of people in front of us, who have no money and no power, and are bullied by others, and the rich will continue to suppress them, this is life, this is society!"

Xia Motong looked at Xiao Yao and said, "If you are the king of a country, then you must be a Ming monarch." ”

Xiao Yao smiled and bowed his hand and smiled: "There, I just talk about it, if I really let me be, I guess I will still be a tyrant." ”

Xiao Yao has suffered a lot on the earth before, and these little routines have all been experienced by Xiao Yao, and now in Xiao Yao's eyes, these are all pediatrics.

Xiao Yao smoked a cigarette and left, Leng Xiyan leaned over to Xia Motong and whispered, "It seems that he has taught you a lot of things." ”

Xia Motong said thoughtfully: "I seem to know why Long Yubei, the fourth prince of the Dragon Teng Empire, is willing to follow him, this guy seems to have something to learn." ”

Leng Xiyan just nodded lightly and didn't speak, and Xia Motong was still immersed in what Xiao Yao said to her.

Xiao Yao's understanding of people's hearts made Xia Motong feel fear, and she knew that there was something very powerful hidden under Xiao Yao's cynical appearance.

Although Xia Motong couldn't say what that kind of thing was, she knew that Xiao Yao had experienced more than her, not only her, but even everyone present had not experienced as much as Xiao Yao combined.

Speaking of which, Xiao Yao's smart eyes are really easy to confuse.

It looks like a gentleman, Xia Motong is usually deceived by this illusion.

But just now, Xia Motong saw the depth and vicissitudes under Xiao Yao's smart eyes.

Those eyes should not have appeared on a person of Xiao Yao's age, those eyes seemed to have experienced life and death, experienced the vicissitudes of the world, thought of a wise man, and like an old man who had experienced peaks, troughs, and finally old age.

Just as Xia Motong was pondering, she suddenly bumped into Xiao Yao's back in front of her and stopped.

It turned out that when Xia Motong was pondering just now, everyone had already arrived at Qiongyin's house.

Qiong Yin pushed open the creaking wooden door: "Daddy, my daughter is back!"

It was a very small hut with only two rooms and a small stove.

Qiongyin screamed a few times, realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed into a room, which should be the room where Qiongyin's father lived.

Soon she rushed out again and ran to another room, and it wasn't long before Qiongyin came out again.

walked to Xiao Yao's side with a depressed expression, and the eyes were already full of tears: "Husband, Dad, he's gone!What should I do? Dad, he's still seriously ill!What should I do?"

It can be seen that Qiong Yin is very flustered now, as if the sky has fallen, and she grabbed Xiao Yao's arm tightly.

At this time, an old woman passing by saw Qiongyin at home, so she shouted outside the door: "Qiongyin girl! The city lord came here just now! I took your father away, I don't know what happened!"

When Qiongyin heard this, she only felt that the sky had fallen, and her eyes fainted as soon as her eyes were dark.

Xiao Yao gently picked up the fainted Qiongyin, put her on the bed in the room, and then walked out with a solemn face.

Xia Motong and the others all looked at Xiao Yao and took out a piece of letter paper and said, "This was found from the table just now, and it should be left by An Fan." ”

Saying that, Xiao Yao also frowned: "Shouldn't it, shouldn't the ban I set just now be lifted so quickly?"

Xia Motong turned the envelope in Xiao Yao's hand and said, "Don't think about these details now, look at what is written on it." ”

Xia Motong opened the envelope, only to see that the letter read: "Young Master Xiao Yao, when you see this letter, it means that you already know that Old Man Qiong was invited back by me, tomorrow at noon on the ring in front of the Red Sleeve Building, as long as I win, I will put Old Man Qiong back, if I lose Qiongyin, I will marry me, and Princess Xia Motong, I am also very interested in chatting with you, and I hope not to refute my face." Anfanliu. ”

Xia Motong touched his chin and wondered, "He knows so much that I'm a princess?"

Xiao Yao glanced at her and said, "Have you forgotten the gang that attacked you before?" it is estimated that they also helped An Fan unlock the ban." ”

Xia Motong nodded: "Yes, I almost forgot about them." ”

Xiao Yao chuckled and said: "You are really used to being assassinated, you can forget this group of people? Who did you offend? Every time you come out, you have to bring bodyguards?"

Xia Motong didn't pay attention to Xiao Yao, but still looked at the letter in his hand.

At this time, Xiao Yao seemed to think of something and said, "Could it be your brother......"

Before Xiao Yao finished speaking, he was glared back by Xia Motong, Xiao Yao nodded cautiously: "Understood, understood, state secrets." ”

Xia Motong took a deep breath before saying, "What are you going to do about Xiao Yao?"

Xiao Yao smiled: "What's the matter, are you going to take care of this matter?"

Although Xia Motong didn't say anything before, Xiao Yao knew that Xia Motong was not willing to take care of this matter.

Xia Motong nodded: "Just solve that group of people who are in the way, otherwise you have to guard against them every day, it's really annoying." ”

Xiao Yao lit a cigarette for himself again and said, "Then let's go and explore the City Lord's Mansion tonight." ”
