The night was calm.

Several people also set off quickly, and along the way, the mysterious swordsman named Yu Ne came and went without a trace, only appearing during meals, mysterious and chic.

Jiang Mo was accustomed to observing every place he walked along the way. The royal family in this era, in addition to not having enough processed food and technological products, but the living environment is enough to be called exquisite and extravagant, and there are people to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Linzi City of Qi is barely as prosperous and lively as the city in the film and television drama, and basically uses copper coins and silver as currency to buy items. But after leaving the city, the wider and more empty is the field and no man's land, even in other cities, it also feels extremely dilapidated and bleak, and even in the city there are many mud houses, thatched huts, and many beggars live on the streets, some big cities are only the size and population of a modern town, but there are still some commercial streets that sell goods, but only a small number of people will buy things, more in the way of exchanging cloth for food, and they are barely poor to live and work in peace and contentment. In a prosperous place, there will also be people discussing the big things that happened in Linzi....

This is just the city that Jiang Mo can see and the villages around the main road, Jiang Mo thought that the gap between the royal family and the people at the bottom was big enough, but until some roads encountered some corpses that no one cleaned up, their clothes were stripped away, only flies and maggots remained, and I don't know if the owner starved to death or was killed by bandits.

There were no twists and turns for three consecutive days, until the afternoon of the fourth day, when they had come to the border of Yanzhou of Qi State, which was hundreds of miles close to the Great Zhou.

This place is sparsely populated, even if it was once a lot of old cities, it has almost been reduced to a walled city with only a few garrisons, a lot of land is also deserted, and the people of many villages are in rags, and look at Jiang Mo and his party with terrifying and strange eyes, causing several people to pass by the village and dare not stop.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, but it suddenly became windy and sandy.

According to the established route, it had been a long time since he had encountered a decent city and inn, and Jiang Mo had to borrow money from a certain village.

Jiang Mo and his entourage approached a village, many people in the village were not busy with farm work, they were all watching Jiang Mo and a few people, when they arrived at the village, the two guards next to him wanted to ask something, and the farmer immediately closed the door and window.

Jiang Mo could only lean against a big tree, looking at the village, ready to drink some water, eat some cakes and continue to hurry.

Suddenly, there was a black child, his clothes were tattered, his body was very dirty, staring at Jiang Mo, Jiang Mo smiled and gave him all the cakes in his hand.

Jiang Mo was going to take out the second one to eat, and a few more children of the same kind came to watch, Jiang Mo couldn't bear it, and divided a few more cakes.

As soon as he finished dividing it, he gathered countless hands, and Jiang Mo divided all the dry food cakes, "We don't have any more, let's go back..."

But the more people gathered, even some adults came forward to beg, and their mouths kept talking, Jiang Mo didn't hear it too clearly, probably "Okay, okay, the food in the village has been robbed by the government and bandits..."

Someone even tried to rip off Jiang Mo's clothes, Jiang Mo looked incredible, "wait a minute" and wanted to climb into the carriage to get the silver, Qin Mu pressed Jiang Mo's hand, shook his head, and ordered the guards who drove the car to "set off"

The two guards on horseback drove away, the carriage drove away, and a few villagers were taken to the car and were wrestled, Jiang Mo couldn't bear it, but he still took out some copper coins and broken silver and went out.

The villagers rushed to rob them.

Qin Mu said: "Your subordinates know that Your Highness is kind-hearted, but your actions like this will harm you, and it will also hurt some thin people, it is meaningless..."

Jiang Mo was immersed in such a scene of poor people, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

But a loud shout, and the carriage that suddenly stopped, brought Jiang Mo back to reality.

More than a dozen reckless men in tattered clothes and machetes surrounded Jiang Mo's carriage procession.

A leader said a bunch of secret words, which seemed to be the secret words of the rivers and lakes, Qin Mu translated, "He said that he could leave if he left the money to buy the road."

Jiang Mo couldn't bear it a little, so he took out his money bag, opened the curtain of the car and was about to hand it out, it seemed that the men outside were staring at the golden flute on horseback, and they chattered a lot.

More than a dozen people suddenly rushed towards Jiang Mo and his party, and a few of them even directly grabbed Jin Di's carriage, and even hugged Jin Di's retreat, Jin Di kicked the two of them with a sweep, and pulled out her Cold Moon Blade.

And Qin Mu didn't pull out the knife, so he kicked the three shouting reckless men and kicked them down respectively, and pressed the scabbard against his neck and retreated straight back.

The other two guards directly drew their knives and slashed, chopping off a reckless man's knife, and also slashing a person's leg, and when a personal guard was about to slash the head of a reckless man, Jiang Mo stopped him: "Don't hurt your life!" ”

The guard took the knife and kicked it out.

In less than half an hour, nearly twenty people were all knocked down and wounded.

Qin Mu also subdued the three guys who seemed to be the leaders, "These three should be the leaders of this group of bandits, looking at the strength of the knife, they definitely killed a lot of lives!" You have to kill to give that group a warning! ”

When everyone heard this, they helped each other and ran away, and when the three of them saw this, they immediately thought of Jiang Mo and kowtowed, begging bitterly, and complained, "We were originally just hard-working farmers, and the harvest at home was too poor and we had to pay taxes according to the head, which was really miserable, and we only had to make money and not kill ourselves", and another person also said, "There are still old and young people in the family", and one person has already cried.

Qin Mu naturally didn't believe it, "Which one begging for mercy is not like this, no matter how kind His Highness is, he will at least hand it over to the nearby county government!" ”

But Jiang Mo waved his hand and said with a long breath: "Forget it, let them go!" ”

Qin Mu frowned and arched his hand, "These are all bandits!" ”

Even Jin Di was very surprised, but she didn't say much, all the way.

Jiang Mo only explained lightly: "It's not the fault of people, it's the fault of the Qi country." ”

Just as the three ragged reckless men "banged" their heads a few times, ready to get up and leave.

"Wait a minute~" Jiang Mo suddenly stopped, and slowly stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the three reckless men.

The three of them trembled with fear, kneeling and lowering their heads, they didn't dare to run away, only to see Jiang Mo walk up to him and hand over a money bag, and said, "Go to the nearby city and make a small living!" ”

The leader was holding the money bag, Jiang Mo also patted his shoulder, and the three of them had a few rings, all of them had blood marks on their heads, but they rushed away with a smile······

Qin Mudu's jaw dropped in shock, and he couldn't help but say: "Although it is said that the poor mountains and evil waters are out of the people, His Highness's kindness will only promote their evil..."

"So, what needs to change is the whole environment" Jiang Mo muttered to himself, and he didn't know what kind of responsibility and vision his identity gave him.

And Jin Di was also in a daze, but when she handed the money bags to those villains, she thought of a young man who handed her a jade pendant many years ago. It's just that he didn't see the young man's face clearly, he only cared about crying, and only thought about repaying the favor afterwards. It was also redeemed - the jade pendant that blocked the burial of her mother, and several times verified, the jade pendant should be produced in Khotan, the Western Regions, and the processing level should be the eternal jade line of Luoyang, the capital of God, and this time she went to the capital of God to let her have the whereabouts of finding the owner of the famous jade, and she hoped that in addition to hatred, there was also a little gratitude·······
