Probably because he gave the village chief a lot of money, the village chief's attitude towards Ye Ningxiang and Mu Jingyuan eased a lot, because he was afraid that the two of them would be cold at night, and specially prepared two quilts for them, although the quilts were already worn. However, from the envious eyes of the villagers looking at him and the two, Ye Ningxiang felt that they should not even be able to cover such a quilt on weekdays, and felt extremely sad for a while.

When the old man sent the quilt, Ye Ningxiang couldn't help but ask, "Village Chief Bai, Ningxiang has a question for you." ”

"Girl, excuse me. ”

"Why doesn't there be any smoke in this untouchable village at night?"

"Alas, we only eat one meal a day at most in our untouchable villages, and we never cook on a fire at night. ”

The old man's face was sad, revealing his helplessness that he could not change the facts.

"What, only one meal a day?" Mu Jingyuan said in surprise as his mouth grew.

Ye Ningxiang also wondered why this untouchable village, which was not too far from Jing'an City, was so poor, even to the point that she couldn't even afford to eat, so she asked: "Village Chief Bai, why is this untouchable village so poor, and the local officials don't care?"

The old man sneered: "No matter, who will care about the life or death of the remnants of the previous dynasty." ”

From the old man's next words, Ye Ningxiang learned that this untouchable village was named by the founding monarch of the country himself, and the people living in it were all royal relatives and nobles left over from the previous dynasty. The men were driven to the nearest part of Jing'an, where the climate was the harshest and the land was most barren, and then everyone was included in the Dalit nationality and ordered that the people of the Dalit village should never leave the village.

Later, after a long time, both the emperor and the officials seemed to have forgotten about this untouchable village. These people are afraid of disobeying the holy decree and losing their lives, and secondly, because they have been instilled with the idea that they are not allowed to leave the untouchable village since childhood, and they have never left the untouchable village for so many years.

Although Mu Jingyuan has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and now he is an emperor, this does not make him have too many requirements for the sleeping environment. He wrapped himself tightly in a large cotton coat, covered it with a thick quilt, and fell asleep in less than a quarter of an hour in this leaky and broken grass house.

Ye Ningxiang, who slept next to Mu Jingyuan, was different. Originally, Ye Ningxiang slept shallowly, and she couldn't sleep in another place, let alone now that she was in this leaky situation.

When you can't sleep, you can't help but think about things. Ye Ningxiang's mind popped up a lot of messy things. She thought about how to help the transformation of the untouchable village, how to eliminate the public opinion to abolish the untouchable village, and even how to introduce Mu Jingyuan into the trap designed by Xiao Qingyu and her.

In the end, Ye Ningxiang fell asleep with all kinds of thoughts, because her heart was heavy, she didn't sleep for long before she woke up, and it was not dawn when she woke up.

The previous decree issued by the Founding Emperor was that people from the Dalit Village were not allowed to walk out of the Dalit Village for half a step, but he did not say that outsiders who entered the Touchability Village were not allowed to leave the Mtiatric Village. So Ye Ningxiang took enough money and left the untouchable village in a carriage alone.

By the time Ye Ningxiang came back, the carriage was already full of food and daily necessities.

Mu Jingyuan sat anxiously at the door, as if he was worried about what danger had happened to Ye Ningxiang, as soon as he saw Ye Ningxiang, he rushed up quickly, and said a little sternly: "Ye Ningxiang, in the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave me at will." Then, his tone became soft again, "You know how worried I am about you when I wake up in the morning and don't see you!"

Ye Ningxiang smiled a little proudly, opened the curtain of the carriage, and said while pointing to the items in the carriage: "Ninth Master, I bought a lot of things for the untouchable village, and they won't have to starve and freeze in the next month!"

The sun shone brightly on her smiling face, and it seemed that even the fine hairs on her face were clearly visible, but because of this, it accentuated her natural unadorned beauty. Mu Jingyuan looked at Ye Ningxiang stupidly, and involuntarily lost his mind by Ye Ningxiang.

"Ninth Master. ”

Being called by Ye Ningxiang, Mu Jingyuan suddenly came back to his senses, he was very embarrassed by the distraction just now, and his face became slightly red.

"Ah, what's the matter?"

"I shouldn't have asked you to help me, but there are so many things that I need you to help me get them off the wagon. ”

During the whole process of carrying things, Mu Jingyuan seemed to be preoccupied, Ye Ningxiang was like a mirror in her heart, but she didn't say anything, pretending not to know anything and moving things behind Mu Jingyuan.

Thinking about this, Mu Jingyuan must have been moved by her Ye Ningxiang just now, but at this time, he thought that there was a sister Lin Yue who could never be betrayed, and he didn't know where to wait for him, and a sense of guilt suddenly rose in his heart, which is why he was so preoccupied.

Then, Ye Ningxiang asked the old village chief to gather the villagers together, probably feeling that the words to inspire the people next were not suitable to come out of her mouth, so she conveyed what she wanted to say to Mu Jingyuan. Mu Jingyuan was first surprised that a little girl was capable and steady in handling things, and she did not lose to a man at all, and then she made a set of remarks to the villagers according to Ye Ningxiang's ideas.

The general meaning of this statement is that the current difficulties are temporary, and the emperor and officials will not forget every citizen who has left the country, and hope that everyone will not live with hatred.

They are also told that good living conditions are not something to come by, but that they still need to create their own things, and that even if they can't leave the village, they can do their best to build houses, cultivate the land, and raise poultry well. In a word, it's useless to complain, everything is on your own.

These villagers were full of fighting spirit and confidence by Mu Jingyuan's impassioned speech, and all the staff went out to overhaul the untouchable village.

As the saying goes, if a thousand people are concentric, you will get a thousand manpower. With the concerted efforts of the villagers, in just three days, the dilapidated untouchable village was completely renewed, and everywhere it looked like a thriving scene.

The villagers were grateful to Ye Ningxiang and Mu Jingyuan for their help, and regarded them as if they were gods descending from the heavens, always respectful and respectful, leaving the best things in the village for them to enjoy. Ye Ningxiang and Mu Jingyuan watched the outstanding results of their team leader in renovating the old village, coupled with the love of the villagers, their hearts had already floated to the sky, and they couldn't close their mouths every day.

However, the truth of happiness and sorrow has its meaning no matter what time it is, because on this day, there was something that made Ye Ningxiang and Mu Jingyuan very anxious and sad.

The renovation of the untouchable village has naturally spread to other places. Fifty miles south of the untouchable village, there is a place called Jinjiazhai, which is a well-known local bandit den. The owner of the village heard out of nowhere that one of the two people who helped to renovate the untouchable village was a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was also very beautiful.

So the owner of the village led a huge army of bandits to forcibly break into the untouchable village in broad daylight, and did not do the slightest thing of burning, killing and looting, but quickly abducted Ye Ningxiang and Mu Jingyuan. When the bandits left, they shouted as if they were showing off: "There is a lady in the big boss! There is a lady in the big boss!"

The two of them were blindfolded, pushed and shoved along the way, stumbled, and when they were escorted to Jinjiazhai, they were covered with dirt and embarrassed. Mu Jingyuan, who has been pampered since childhood, has suffered such grievances, and he has been resisting and struggling all the way, and by the time his blindfold was removed, his originally handsome face had already been beaten blue and purple.

Two bandits put long knives around their necks and coerced them into coming to the owner. Because his hands were tied behind his back, Mu Jingyuan was kicked in the calf, and he lost his balance and knelt on the ground fiercely. The bandits looked at Mu Jingyuan's tragic situation now, and laughed gloating one by one.

"You, you are bold, do you know who I am?" Mu Jingyuan glared at his eyes, his face hideous as if he wanted to eat people.

The owner of the village glanced at Mu Jingyuan very contemptuously, and gave his subordinates next to him a look. The subordinates immediately understood, slapped Mu Jingyuan fiercely, and said with a wicked smile: "I don't care who you are, when you come here, you are our prisoner and our slave!"

When the rest of the bandits in the hall heard this, they burst into laughter again, but the laughter came to an abrupt end with a gesture from the owner of the village.

The owner of the village slowly stepped down from the seat, walked up to Ye Ningxiang with a smile, and stroked Ye Ningxiang's cheek very frivolously. Ye Ningxiang was about to resist, but heard the owner of the village say with a smile: "If you dare to resist, I will drag you, my lover, out to feed the dog!"

Ye Ningxiang stopped resisting and closed her eyes in despair.

"My name is Jin Dali, and I am the big boss of this Jin family village. Everyone here calls me Boss Kim. As he spoke, Boss Jin almost stuck Ye Ningxiang's lips, "Lady, from now on, you will live in this Jin family village with peace of mind, and I will never treat you badly." ”

"Okay, I promise to stay. But I also want you to promise me one thing. Ye Ningxiang said very calmly.

"You've reached such a point that you still dare to negotiate terms with my uncle! But uncle, I like you with an idea like Pepper! Say, what's the matter. ”

"Let him go. ”

"It's okay to let him go, but we have to wait until you and I get married. ”

Mu Jingyuan was about to yell at Ye Ningxiang to tell her not to sacrifice herself for him, but before the words could be spoken, his mouth was rudely blocked by the bandits, and he didn't make a sound. He was then carried out of the hall by two bandits and thrown into his cell like garbage.

However, what Mu Jingyuan never expected was that after Ye Ningxiang was escorted into his room by Boss Jin, he was untied by Boss Jin from the rope tied to his body. Not only that, but Boss Jin, who had an evil, fierce and brutal face just now, actually knelt in front of Ye Ningxiang very respectfully.

"Miss Ye, just now in the hall, Lao Jin has offended a lot, please forgive me. ”

Ye Ningxiang helped Boss Jin up, and said with a smile: "Old Jin is willing to do such a big thing for Yu Gongzi that may lose his head at any time, it is too late for Ning Xiang to admire, so what is the meaning of blame." ”

"Mu Jingyuan must hate us now, as long as we continue to act according to the plan, we will definitely succeed. ”

"After this is over, you must leave the country immediately, or your life may not be guaranteed. ”

"Yes. ”

There is a grass hut in the deepest part of Qingming Mountain, surrounded by dense peach forests, and the peach forests and the lake in front of it complement each other, and the artistic conception is far away.

Mu Xize, who had disappeared for more than a month, was now half-lying weakly on the bamboo bed in the grass hut, with sadness in his eyes. In the past two months, the demonic power in his body has become more and more intense, and there is always a desire to kill in his heart, so that when the four princesses Ning suddenly died, he himself decided that he was the murderer of them.

Although the Shadow Guard was later rescued with Song Tianweng and found out that the real culprit who killed Princess Ning was a peerless master with a silver-gray mask, Mu Xize was still very uneasy in his heart, he didn't know when this evil force would consume his mind, and then turn into a murderous monster without him realizing it.

The nine-tailed fox clan is most afraid of peach blossoms, and he used to drink peach blossom tea every day to suppress the demonic power in his body. In order to better suppress the demonic power in his body, Mu Xize ordered his subordinates to plant a large peach forest in the depths of this Qingming Mountain in advance, so that he could hide here when the seal was loosened.

At this time, the originally closed door was suddenly pushed open, and the person who suddenly broke in was Mu Xize's first confidant, Gu Liancheng, the current head of the Shadow Guard. I saw Gu Liancheng sweating profusely, with an anxious look on his face, he quickly ran to Mu Xize, and said breathlessly: "Son, something happened, Ye Ningxiang was captured by the people of Jinjiazhai. ”

Mu Xize, who was about to reprimand Gu Liancheng for being reckless, changed his face sharply, and asked further, "When did it happen?"

"It should have been three days. ”

Mu Xize kept repeating the three words of Jinjiazhai in his mouth, and his originally anxious face became much calmer, and finally sighed and said, "It seems that the other party is going to make a move on me." ”

"What does Childe mean?"

"Liancheng, go and inform Qi Sheng and let him resign and go into hiding. In addition, the best Shadow Guards were sent to secretly protect Little Leaf. ”

Gu Liancheng was indignant in his heart, Ye Ningxiang helped others to murder Mu Xize, but Mu Xize secretly helped Ye Ningxiang in turn, and if this deal was not good, Mu Xize's life would be involved. However, out of respect for Mu Xize, he still obeyed Mu Xize's order very respectfully.
