Chapter Twenty-Three: Changes in the Heart of People

"Huh? Forcing you? ”

The empress is a little confused.

Yu Fei smiled, let go of the reins, and let the horse go to drink by himself, before explaining:

"Yuan Tiangang knows that I will not be a subordinate to Li Xingyun, because once I declare myself to him, it means that I have to protect him for the rest of my life, and although I have been working hard to unify the world, I have always only regarded myself as your subordinate, so Yuan Tiangang took this opportunity to use Li Xingyun to force me."

Although the empress is sometimes a little ignorant, she is extremely smart, Yu Fei mentioned it a little, she roughly understood the doorway, nodded, and said thoughtfully:

"I see, even if Mr. can see the bad handsome's plan at that time, I'm afraid he can only follow his ideas, after all, no matter how Mr. chooses, the bad handsome will win. It's just that how can this bad handsome man act like Mr. now? ”

Yu Fei was stunned for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, and said:

"Dashuai is indeed acting less ghostly and more grandiose now. I didn't care about him, but I didn't consult with you and said the words of the emperor, I..."

The empress smiled slightly, took Yu Fei's hand, and interrupted his words.

"You and I are husband and wife, I can take off the costume of King Qi and marry you openly, I don't know how happy I am in my heart."

Yu Fei nodded, reached out to arrange the strands of hair that fell from her head, and said guiltily:

"I've wronged you."

The empress smiled slightly, shook her head, and leaned into Yu Fei's arms.

The glow of the setting sun sprinkled on the backs of the two, the surrounding streams flowed, and the birds chirped, which was really a pair of fairy couples.

......

Jingnan, Jiangning Mansion.

Since the second year of Tongguang, Qi State conquered Xiangfan, it has been encroaching towards the south, and now more than four years have passed, and Qi State's territory in the south is getting bigger and bigger.

On this day, a tall and handsome middle-aged man came from outside Jiangning City, who was the real Qi King Li Maozhen who returned from Miaojiang.

Looking at the familiar banner of Qi at the head of Jiangning City, Li Maozhen only felt that he was dazzled, and led the horse into the city, only to see that the prosperity in the city was very different from more than ten years ago.

There are many merchants in the city, and all kinds of liquor shops are opened all over the avenue, and the streets are full of people coming and going, and the cries of selling are endless.

The people's faces are also a little bloody, and they are no longer the skinny appearance of the past.

Li Maozhen led the horse and walked on the avenue, and suddenly in a wine shop next to him, a young man who looked like a martial artist was chased out by the proprietress of the wine shop with a broom.

"Mother-in-law of the Song family, don't you owe you money for a drink? What are you doing crazy. ”

The proprietress held the broom, pointed at the man and scolded:

"You have suffered a thousand cuts, is that a meal, you have been on credit with me several times, the head of the house is blind, it is not to say that you are a hero, I bah, even drink a drink on credit, you are a bullshit hero."

"I... I..."

The man's face turned red when he was said, and he pointed at the proprietress and was speechless.

The onlookers on the side laughed when they saw this, and some of them who were familiar with the two of them were still arching the fire on the side:

"Guo Dalang, you are a tall man, I am afraid that this mother-in-law will do something and beat her."

Hearing the words of Gong Huo, the proprietress raised her eyebrows, and scolded with her waist in her waist:

"Xu Lao Liu, don't talk about him, you are inferior to him, if you want to beat the old lady, you can try it yourself."

The tall and thin man who arched the fire was startled by the fierceness of the proprietress and took a few steps back. Grunted:

"Brother Yang has really suffered for such a fierce mother-in-law."

When everyone saw his cowardice, they burst into laughter.

And Li Maozhen, who has been watching, is extremely strange, he has already seen that the man surnamed Guo is tall, has martial arts, and also wears military boots, obviously a soldier, how can he be scolded so angrily by an ordinary woman?

Li Maozhen felt strange in her heart, so she couldn't help but ask a person watching the excitement next to her.

"Brother, please, why is this woman so bold that she dares to provoke these soldiers? Could it be that what kind of big official is his man? “

The person who was asked was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Maozhen, saw that he was heroic and extraordinary, not like ordinary people, and explained with a smile:

"Brother isn't a local, is he?"

Li Maozhen nodded and said a word of elder brother's insight.

The middle-aged man smiled and said:

"I don't have much discernment, but since our Jingnan Road was governed by His Royal Highness King Qi, I issued a strict order, people in the army are not allowed to bully the people, once caught, it will be a heavy punishment, Guo Dalang is a patrol in the city, naturally he doesn't dare to do it, this Yang family's mother-in-law is also relying on this, which is why she is so arrogant."

Li Maozhen thoughtfully asked:

"Isn't King Qi afraid of these soldiers rebelling? Let his subordinates be so humiliated, where is the heart of this army? ”

The man glanced at Li Maozhen strangely, and then laughed and said:

"Brother, you really don't know anything, don't look at Guo Dalang's embarrassment, but if you want him to choose, he will definitely be selected as a soldier of His Royal Highness King Qi, his family is just a little crowded, and it is a group of old and weak, and the Yongye field divided by the imperial court can only be rented out, otherwise it will be like this."

After finishing speaking, he smiled again and continued:

"And I heard that His Royal Highness King Qi is going to marry his sister to Li Dashuai, Li Dashuai is about to ascend the throne and become emperor, and there will definitely be a big reward at that time, if you use a stick, Guo Dalang will not leave, then there will be a rebellion."

Li Maozhen's face turned blue and white, white and blue, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"King Qi marries a sister? Emperor? ”

"That's right, but brother, I'm also hearsay, our Jingnan is still far away from Chang'an, I can't say that at this time, Li Dashuai has already hugged the beauty and sat on the dragon chair."

The man said, his face was full of envy, and he really wanted to replace him.

Li Maozhen gritted her teeth and thanked her, led the horse away in despair, and didn't continue to watch the play.

After Guo Wei, who was scolded, returned home, he looked at his busy wife and nephew, and couldn't help feeling guilty.

I think I was originally born in Jiangmen, the son of Shunzhou Thorn History, and the captain of Emperor Tongguang's own army, but I can only mess around in this remote Jingnan, if it weren't for the ability of this wife and nephew, I was only in my early tens and was busy supporting the family business, and it was difficult for my family to even support my family.

"Uncle"

Chai Rong, who was only ten years old, saw Guo Wei coming back, and hurriedly put down his work and rushed to see him.

Guo Wei smiled, nodded, and was just about to enter the hospital, when he suddenly paused, turned to look at Chai Rong and asked:

"Hmm... Rong'er, how about we go to Chang'an? ”

Chai Rong was stunned when he heard this, and immediately smiled:

"This is naturally good, my uncle is a skill, he should have gone to the north to show his strength, and it is really inappropriate to stay in this small city all day long."

Although Chai Rong is only in his early tens, he has been smart and sensible since he was a child, and he has made up his mind.

After discussing with his wife that night, he went to his boss the next day and applied for a transfer to the north to participate in the selection of the newly established Longxiang Army.

And Li Maozhen went all the way north, the more she heard Yu Fei's legend and the deeper she understood, the more angry she became, not to mention the loss of her sister and her foundation, her hard work for more than ten years seemed so insignificant in front of Yu Fei.

Even the scholars in the Liang Kingdom were optimistic that Yu Fei would be able to dominate the world, and they also hoped that he would dominate the world, rather than Li Siyuan, who had a larger population and a wider territory.

And Li Siyuan, who was in charge of the state in the Bianliang Imperial Palace, also felt that it was basically impossible to defeat Yu Fei by ordinary means, so he also quietly colluded with the poisonous prince of the Ten Thousand Poison Caves.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
