Since realizing that his identity is not worth hiding here, Jiang Yujin has let go a lot. The carriage traveled south for another two days, and finally saw the water. It's just that the baby stream is not like a stream, but a rushing river.

There was fertile land on both sides of the river, and Sun Zikai couldn't help but sigh: "The barbarians can obviously live by the river and farm for a living, but they want to rob us." The two went up the stream, and although the barbarians did not cultivate grain fields by the river, they often gathered here and settled down for a long time because of the delicious vegetation and the fertilization of wild pasture.

The two had to look at the river from afar, trying not to be noticed by the barbarians, but the deeper they walked, the more barbarians there were, Sun Zikai knew the number and location of the barbarians best, and knew that he couldn't hide next, so he simply drove the carriage towards the river.

How could there be such an elaborate carriage in a place outside the gate, but in such a place, how could someone inside come here alone? Therefore, the first moment the barbarians saw them, they did not think that they were Guannai, but thought that they were barbarians from other tribes who had picked up the carriage of the Guannai people.

Jiang Yujin was quite nervous at first, but Sun Zikai didn't take it seriously at all, and even greeted the barbarians warmly. Due to the large number of barbarian tribes gathered here, there is an unwritten rule - no plundering is allowed on both sides of the Infant Creek, so the two children can go all the way unimpeded.

"Are you also a cultivator?" Jiang Yujin asked.

Sun Zikai nodded, and Jiang Yujin asked again, "Then you studied in Yanming Sect?" ”

"No, no one taught me, I can only understand it myself."

"No wonder, I've seen cultivators, there is no one like you, who can put his fingers against the blade of a knife."

"Do you want to learn? I'll teach you. ”

"I don't want to learn, I want to learn the true way of cultivating immortals."

"I want to learn too, but I don't have the chance."

"Then I'll teach you after I'm done."

"Okay, uh, I don't have to pay you tuition."

"A piece of gold."

"What? Forget it, I won't study it. Sun Zikai said in frustration.

Jiang Yujin asked curiously: "Is a piece of gold really a lot of money?" ”

Sun Zikai nodded and replied: "The piece of gold you took out in front of me, Lao Yang, and Lao Zhang that day was the first gold we had seen in our lives, such a big gold brick, and it was engraved with patterns, I couldn't have thought of it before." ”

Jiang Yujin said: "In the past, when they found me a sip of water to drink, they all wanted a piece of gold, and they also needed a piece of gold to eat a meal. ”

"Then you're stupid."

Jiang Yujin kicked him and said angrily: "You are stupid, I... I just don't know. ”

"Who are you?" Sun Zikai asked.

Jiang Yujin hugged her legs, curled up, her eyes were very gloomy. Sun Zikai said: "Like me, also an orphan? ”

"You too?"

"Hmm."

"How did they die?"

"Wronged, hey.... I don't know the cause of their deaths, my parents are even smaller people in the sect who are not small people, and it is not their turn to die, but they just die. No one gave me a reason, so I had to find it myself. What about you, how did they die? ”

"Killed, no.... Those who were forced to die committed suicide. ”

Sun Zikai didn't plan to ask, and didn't want to mention her sadness, but Jiang Yujin held her emotions in her heart for a long time, muttered to herself, and told her experience.

To put it simply, thousands of miles away, there were two large countries, the Song State and the Zhao State, as well as four small countries, and the royal family of the Song State was surnamed Jiang. In fact, this is also the result of the dark box operation of the Song and Zhao countries, they regard the four small countries as a shield between the big countries, and when the conflict of interests reaches an irreversible point, there are small countries that will suffer.

This method has lasted for thousands of years, but the monarch of Qi in the four small countries, secretly ambitious, has worked hard for many years to recruit troops and horses, so that the art of connecting horizontals and recruiting elites of the four countries has created a front that runs through the east and west. Once the incident started, only three years, it defeated the big country Biansai, and the thunderous momentum caught the Song and Zhao countries off guard, and after the Border Fortress was opened, the four countries drove straight in, and defeated the establishment of the great power in one fell swoop.

Jiang Yujin is one of the princesses of the Song Kingdom and the only one of the Jiang royal family who survived. didn't even have a maid, she desperately escaped from the imperial city, pretending to be a beggar to get out of the hundred miles, and later because of her daughter's identity and being extremely unfamiliar with things outside the palace, she was struggling to walk and had to escape from the gold and silver to find a knight to escort her.

It's just that where did she know any chivalrous, she only found a group of liars, she originally just wanted to go to a sect hundreds of miles away to practice and survive, but those swindlers took her out thousands of miles for gold.

Sun Zikai was confused when he heard this, and asked Jiang Yujin what a country is. Jiang Yujin was stunned for a while, and then explained to him in detail, what is the country, the royal family, the princess, the official, the border stopper, the rivers and lakes...

After listening, Sun Zikai was deeply amazed by the world of monarchy, and he said: "It turns out that people can still live like this, and our guards are like an army in your country." ”

"No," Jiang Yujin said, "even the number of cooks in a border army is more than all of you." ”

"It's nice to have such a united world, but, as you said, your country is hundreds of times bigger than ours."

Jiang Yujin corrected him and said, "It's a thousand times, no, it's even bigger." ”

"Well, isn't it ridiculous to give power to a family or a person in such a big place? The first round of exploitation of the highest power by the lower high positions will spread down layer by layer, one person exploits ten people, ten people exploit hundreds of people, and hundreds of people exploit thousands or ten thousand people. ”

"This ..... It is true that there are taxes, but the people should not live hard. ”

"You are not a common people, how can you know if they are suffering or not."

Jiang Yujin said persistently: "You only need to pay taxes once a year, it's not bitter, when my father was alive, I also heard that the people were not doing well." ”

Sun Zikai shook his head and said: "How can you only pay taxes once, you are talking about national taxes, according to what you said, in such a country, every guard, every county, and every city is within the system, but your royal people don't give them money, but they pay you money, where do they get the money, isn't it still pulled from the lowest people, the city lord picks it up once, the second-in-command under the city lord has to pick it up again, the city lord's son, daughter, and even the slaves at home may pick it up once, but it is not on the table, It doesn't mean that this kind of thing won't happen, no, it will definitely happen, and that's how human nature is. ”

"You are talking nonsense" Jiang Yujin was angry, although her country was destroyed, she could not tolerate someone slandering her ancestors and the merits of her father. "You don't understand anything, when my father was born, he could be called a holy king."

"What about your imperial grandfather?"

"It's also a saint."

"Where's Grandpa Taihuang?"

"It's even more of a saint."

"Mrs. Mrs. Empress..."

"What the hell are you going to say!"

Sun Zikai said helplessly: "You have said that the power of the whole country is in his hands alone, will anyone dare to say that he is not a holy monarch?" If the people exist for you nobles and officials, then if the people are miserable, who will they go to avenge their grievances? They are like a drop in the ocean, they die when they die, and it is not a big deal to die, and when you put pen to paper, who knows what is written on the paper that you put in front of your father. ”

Jiang Yujin was on fire, but Sun Zikai jokingly "touched" a flame from her hair, and said with a smile: "Look, you are all on fire." ”

"Hmph, I'll ignore you! Get behind the wheel of your car! She sat back in the carriage, but what she didn't know was that Sun Zikai was a guy with a mind full of ideas, he grasped a problem, and always had to understand it thoroughly and then realize something else.

He didn't care whether Jiang Yujin wanted to listen or not, and continued to say to himself: "It must be like this, the people are living very hard, and it's not a day or two, or your country won't die." ”

Jiang Yujin got out of the car and said angrily: "What did you say! ”

"Such a big country, no, two countries, four small countries, or secretly united together, three years to destroy you, is three years really short? It's not short at all, the army can be sent to the border, and then the country is recruited layer by layer, if the officials and the people are united, the people have the country in their hearts, not to mention three years, that is, thirty years, they can't get in, we guard the pass, there have always been more than 20 people, blocked here for a hundred years and a hundred years, the mud bodhisattvas stand in a row, everyone knows that they will die when they come, but they come one by one. If the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill, your country must be rotten and the people are also heartbroken, so they will not be able to withstand this test. ”

"You bastard! You know what! You don't understand anything! Jiang Yujin was angry and cried, and sat in the carriage to wipe her tears.

Sun Zikai realized it later, touched his head, and said haha: "Ah..... For your family, this is indeed a bad thing, I'm sorry, I'm just talking about the problems of this country, not about your father's problems, your father and mother must be good, they are deceived by the people below, and blame them for not coming out often, such a big country must not walk around every day to take a look... Yes... That's not what I meant..."

In the carriage, the girl yelled hoarsely, "Shut up! ”

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to talk about it."

The carriage kept moving along the baby stream, and the girl was really annoyed, so she didn't say a word to Sun Zikai anymore, but fortunately, Sun Zikai was already used to the world of one person, and he was full of whims, and he didn't feel bored at all.
