Chapter 608 609. Dai Mubai Asks for Help
(one more)
"Heaven Dou City is still as lively and bustling as ever."
The two figures came all the way from the distant Star Luo Empire, passed through the inspection of the city gate guards, stepped into the city, looked at the bustling streets, and felt quite emotional in their hearts.
This is a man and a woman, two young people, who seem to have just grown up, the young man is slightly older, and the young girl looks younger, the young man has long golden hair, which is wildly scattered behind his back, and his eyes have double pupils.
The girl's face is cold, extremely hot, and her perfect figure is in stark contrast to the chill on her face, which is even more attractive. Contrary to the youth's black clothes, she is wearing a white dress that covers her whole body Most of the white skin.
The sight of these two people gave people a bright feeling, and they couldn't help but praise the beauty of a man and a woman, they are a match made in heaven.
It's just that they didn't seem to have had a good rest along the way, their mental state was a little tired, and their bodies were full of wind and dust.
"I heard that Yang Ming is now in the Zhatian Gang. I don't know if he can introduce us to meet the leader of the Zhatian Gang." The young man whispered.
"Mubai, with Yang Ming's past behavior, if he understands our difficulties, he will definitely help us." The girl said.
These two people were obviously Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing who hadn't seen each other for two years.
Compared with two years ago, the two have grown up outstandingly, the man is more handsome, and the woman is more beautiful.
The two asked passers-by on the way, and after being guided, they walked all the way to the Zhatian Gang's station in Tiandou City.
Looking at the majestic building complex that lined up with the imperial city in front of him, its grandeur was no less than that of the imperial palace, or even surpassed, even though Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were born in extraordinary backgrounds, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the greatness of the Zhatian Gang. Shock.
"Stop coming."
The guard stepped forward and stopped the two of them.
At the same time, the doorman released Contra's aura, which immediately frightened the two of them.
"This Zhatian gang is too extravagant, to let Contra be the guard?"
No matter how surprised Dai Mubai was in his heart, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction when he wanted something from others at this time, he cupped his hands slightly, and said gently: "We are Yang Ming's classmates, we have important business to visit, please go ahead It's convenient, let me inform you."
"Student Yang Ming? Heh, we've seen a lot of people like this recently." The door guard twitched his mouth, a little in disbelief, just looking at the outstanding appearance and good temperament of the blond young man and the white-clothed girl in front of him, he might be from some noble family My son, he didn't want to offend himself, so he quickly changed his words: "You guys wait here for a while, I will help you to ask."
The doorman turned and entered the gate.
Soon, he came out again.
"Yang Ming went to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School as a guest yesterday, and he hasn't come back yet, why don't you go to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School and ask?" the guard said.
"It's really troublesome for you."
Dai Mubai cupped his hands, and led Zhu Zhuqing to turn to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
However, to their embarrassment, they were also told that Yang Ming and Ms. Ning Rongrong had gone out for fun early in the morning and hadn't come back yet.
"Mubai, what should we do?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"From what the guard said, it seems that Yang Ming has gone to Shrek Academy. Let's go and see if we can meet them. If we still can't see them, we'll just find a hotel in the city to stay in, and we'll find them tomorrow." Yang Ming."
After all, Dai Mubai continued on his way without stopping.
Seeing Dai Mubai's haggard face, Zhu Zhuqing was worried that his body would not be able to bear it.
In the past year, the Star Luo Empire has undergone major changes. Nearly one-third of the territory has been occupied by the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Empire was established on this basis.
For the ordinary people under the Star Luo Empire, at most it is just a change of ruler, and life will continue as usual, maybe there will be a little secret joy occasionally, after all, in order to win people's hearts, the Spirit Empire has exempted This is good news for most ordinary people who have paid the common people exorbitant taxes for three years.
You know, the Star Luo Empire has existed for so many years, the system has long been solidified, and all kinds of exorbitant taxes are even more numerous. The royal family, nobles, and local tyrants have been exploited layer by layer. As far as farmers' agricultural tax is concerned, out of 10% of the grain harvest, 60% has to be handed over to the national treasury, only 20% of this 60% is handed over to the royal family, and the remaining 60% is divided up by the nobles and local tyrants, and only 40% of the farmers are left. If it is not enough food, it can barely survive starvation.
The agricultural side is just the tip of the iceberg of this huge empire.
Handicrafts, commerce, the royal family, nobles, and local tyrants exploited these in no small amount.
Some people may ask, don't these people know how to resist?
Resistance, what resistance?
Awakening the martial soul, the powerful soul master is awarded the title of nobility and tied to the noble chariot, which is naturally the opposite of ordinary people.
The rebel army doesn't have powerful soul masters sitting in the town, only a group of civilians, how can it compare to the regular army with weapons?
Therefore, the Wuhun Empire was able to annex the territory like a bamboo shoot, relying on absolute force.
Being able to guard these territories with peace of mind depends on the hearts of the people at the bottom.
As a member of the royal family of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai has endured the pressure that his age shouldn't bear this year. The older generation hopes that he will be able to lead the empire to solve the predicament in the future, and the common people hope that he can inherit the throne and overthrow the old one. Eliminate political abuses, abolish local exorbitant taxes, and let the common people live a good life.
After much deliberation, Dai Mubai knew that his ability was meager, and with his own strength, he might not be able to untie the deadlock of the Star Luo Empire, so he had no choice but to come to Tiandou City to seek help from the Zhatian Gang.
Looking at the special monster carving on the plaque on the gate of Shrek Academy not far away, Dai Mubai recalled the days when he lived with his friends in Shrek Academy, carefree and happy.
In contrast, my life in the past two years has been really miserable!
The empire, the bad government, the common people, the country, the invading army, the rebel army, and the problems that followed made Dai Mubai almost dizzy.
This is because Dai Mubai is currently only a crown prince and has not inherited the throne, but a prerequisite for participating in politics. He already felt a little overwhelmed, and even once suspected that he was not suitable for this line of work.
"Hey, Mubai, look at the many people in front, maybe we were recognized by our juniors and came out to greet us?" Zhu Zhuqing said.
Following the direction of Zhu Zhuqing's finger, Dai Mubai saw a group of people approaching in front.
But, from their mouths shouting "Senior Yang Ming, look here", Dai Mubai knew that Zhu Zhuqing was thinking too much.
