When the person watching him on the street stood up, Chen Changsheng also realized that it was time for him to go.

Slowly, five or six people around him walked towards him, and Chen Changsheng's steps turned into an alley.

When the men approached, they found that the alley was empty and long gone.

At this time, Chen Changsheng had already appeared outside the city of the end of the water.

There is a vast desert in front of you, and you can't see a single trace of smoke.

It also means he still has a long way to go.

Chen Changsheng hesitated.

In fact, he was aimless, and he was aimless along the way, so I chose a random direction, and he didn't care where he would go.

But it all ends up in one place.

Footprints were left on the dunes, but in less than half an hour, they would be covered by the wind and sand.

So it's hard to leave a trace of people, but it's also alive and well.

The wind and sand poured down, and Chen Changsheng didn't know how long he had walked, but what he could feel was that the wind and sand around him were getting less and less.

Gradually, he saw the oasis and saw people pulling horse-drawn carts to fetch water from the place.

It's probably going to be pulled to a certain city to be sold.

Chen Changsheng originally wanted to join them, but when he saw that those people were all from the Northern Desert, he didn't step forward to disturb them again.

People don't welcome it, so there's no need to go forward again.

Of course, Chen Changsheng can't say that he hates it, they are all human beings, the difference is only his conduct.

He skirted the oasis and headed farther afield.

It wasn't until he saw the land from afar that he knew he was going in the right direction, and he wasn't going in the opposite direction.

He walked for some time before he saw a city standing in front of him.

The head of the city is engraved with the three characters "Jianggu City".

It's close to the desert, but the city has its name.

Chen Changsheng was curious about this, so he walked into the city.

What also surprised Chen Changsheng was that the people stationed outside the city were also from the Northern Desert, but they just glanced at him lightly and did not stop him.

This also means that this ancient city of Jiang is also the city of the Northern Desert today.

And among the people who entered the city, there were many people from Daxiang.

It's easy to tell from the look.

Most of these people have dragged their goods and traveled a long way to get here.

Understand that this also means that there is still trade between Daxiang and today's Northern Desert.

For the five cities that occupy Daxiang, the trade route is still continuing, which can't help but make people feel incomprehensible.

After entering the city, Chen Changsheng came to a shop that sold food.

After ordering a bowl of noodles, he immediately asked Xiao Er to inquire.

Xiao Er talked to Chen Changsheng about Jianggu City.

This name is a bit special, but in fact, through history you can also understand why this is the case, as early as many years ago, this was the end of the Tongtian River, but with the later wind and sand invasion, the river water dried up, and the river in front of you was also covered by the wind and sand, so there is no end to it.

But the name has endured.

But to Chen Changsheng's surprise, Xiao Er turned out to be a big person.

Chen Changsheng asked, "You are a person from Daxiang, why did you come here?" ”

After hearing this, Xiao Er said helplessly: "Otherwise, there is no way, who would like to run to such a place." ”

"No way?"

Immediately, Xiao Er explained the other situations in Daxiang today, not that there is a continuous war, the people have no land to plant, but there is no food to eat, and the food that is finally planted is handed over to the prince above his head.

The taxes are heavy, and the people are overwhelmed.

As a last resort, the child and a few people from the same township ran to the Beidesert to open a shop.

So I can't earn a few silvers, but I can barely make ends meet, and I won't starve to death.

Chen Changsheng frowned after hearing this.

In Xiao Er's slow narration, he also learned about the original Seven Kings Rebellion and the current Five Parties.

"In the blink of an eye, Daxiang turned out to be like this......"

Chen Changsheng sighed lightly in his heart after hearing this, inexplicably a little unpleasant.

More of them are a little worried.

I don't know what happened to Qiuyuefang, what about Qingshan City, what will it look like?

Xiao Er sighed and said: "When I first came, I was afraid that the people of the Northern Desert would make trouble for us, but after I came, I found out that I was thinking too much, they are very different from the rumors, and they are not jackals, tigers and leopards, on the contrary, most of them are very reasonable." ”

Many years ago, when the Northern Desert invaded Dajing, it did the slaughter of the city at that time, but now it is very different.

Under history, the nation gradually developed etiquette and education.

All thanks to some policies of the Xixiao era.

At that time, the Xixiao King was greatly educated, so that the people of the Northern Desert understood the truth and etiquette, and under the influence of more than ten years, this famous clan was changed.

Chen Changsheng said: "At that time, King Xixiao did attach great importance to education. ”

Xiao Er said with a smile: "I have heard a few guest officials from the Northern Desert talk about it before, saying that at that time, King Xixiao also let them go to school, and they were all thirty-four years old at that time, and they were supposed to lead the troops to fight, but they also had to go to school with the dolls." ”

Chen Changsheng couldn't help but feel a little ironic.

Many years ago, the people in the world hated the people of the Northern Desert and scolded them for killing and brutalizing, such as today's troubled times, the world is starving everywhere, everyone is in danger, those who are in high positions are shameless and forget the etiquette, but the things they left behind were picked up by the Northern Desert people who scolded the brutality at the beginning.

Chen Changsheng asked: "Then if you have money later, you will not be bullied again, will you still go back to Daxiang?" ”

Xiao Er paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Of course it will." ”

But Xiao Er told a lie.

He naturally saw that Chen Changsheng was not from the Northern Desert.

He is a junior, he is open to do business, and he will not say things that make the guest officer unhappy to listen.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng said: "Chen doesn't care about this, just tell the truth, and I won't be angry with you because of this." ”

When Xiao Er saw the guest officer say this, he paused and said, "The guest officer wants to hear the truth? ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Er sighed and said, "Let the little one say, in fact, the little one doesn't know if he can go back." ”

"After all, I'm just a junior, and the thing I think about every day is, can I eat enough? Can you afford to wear clothes? Like you, guest officer, you must be a learned person, a learned person knows the righteousness of the family and the country, unlike us, in order to live and anxious, people want to live, only then do they have the heart to consider these things, it sounds a little messy, but the small one knows: here the small one can make a family full of old snacks, not bullied, but back to Daxiang, either starve to death, or exhaust to death......"

"But who wouldn't want to go back if they could go back? After all, it's their own home, and who wants to be in a foreign land. ”

"But now it's so ......"

"Who dares to go back."
