Chapter 1036 I'm Getting Old, I'm Powerless

The turmoil in Yunzhou City calmed down temporarily after Mrs. Ding was arrested and sent to the Yamen Prison.

At this time, the time has entered April. Feng Qingbai and Liu Yusheng have been in Liangzhou City for nearly ten days.

I don't do anything else every day, just go sightseeing in and out of the city, as if I really came here for sightseeing.

Those who watched openly and secretly did not find any flaws, but they did not dare to relax. It is because the identity of King Nanling is too special, no matter which country he appears in, he will always be the focus of attention.

On an artificial lake in the north of Mocheng City, in a painting boat, men and women sit opposite each other and look at the lake through the window. They look comfortable and leisurely, but what they say has nothing to do with the expressions they show.

"Even taking a boat tour on the lake is watched so closely. Don't those people have to eat and sleep twelve hours a day?" Liu Yusheng complained.

"Naturally, we have to eat and sleep, so they take turns watching us three times a day to ensure that we have enough energy." The man opposite laughed.

Liu Yusheng's eyebrows twitched.

She is now more and more curious about the Emperor Xiliang, what kind of person can be so perverted? In order to keep an eye on his prince in the border town, he actually asked people to take shifts. What exactly are you guarding against?

"How far is the distance from the border town to Xiliang? You said that the news that we are in the border town has reached the ears of the emperor of Xiliang by this time?"

Feng Qingbai shook his head, "It's not that fast, even if we use the fastest birds to deliver the message, it will take at least half a month from the border town to the capital of Xiliang."

In fact, this half month is just a guess. Because Xiliang has remained mysterious for so many years and has always refused outsiders to visit, it can be said that no one in the three surrounding countries has really seen the whole picture of Xiliang, let alone understand the size of this country.

He didn't know the distance from Xiliang's border city to the capital, so he could only speculate by comparing it with the other three countries.

The capital of a country is mostly in the center of the country. The longest distance from the center of the country to the borders in all directions is about a month or two. Of course, it is not ruled out that Xiliang is an exception.

So he couldn't give a specific answer to the woman.

"It's really strange that there are things in the world that you don't know about." The woman teased.

Feng Qingbai raised his eyebrows, "There are many things I don't know."

"for example?"

"If you don't know, how can you give an example?"

Liu Yusheng slumped on the window sill, completely convinced by the man's answer.

Then he turned his attention elsewhere, "Wei Zi and Liu Ya haven't stayed with us for a while, are you sending them on some secret mission again?"

"No." The man was serious, "I don't want them to follow, I just don't want them to be an eyesore."

Liu Yusheng was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Seeing the woman's smiling face, Feng Qingbai slightly raised the corners of her lips.

Pretending to be something in my heart, in fact, women rarely open their faces during this period of time. So what he likes to do most is to make her laugh like this.

It's all right for her to worry about other people's affairs, but he really can't see her worrying about it until she frowns all day long. So in just a few days, he had made many accounts, all of which were on Xue Honglian's head.

Find the right time in the future, and get back a sum of money.

"Didn't we see that old eunuch in the post station leave the city today? Do you think he has arrived at Shengwu Village now?"

"Mocheng is not far from Shengwu Village. It takes about a quarter of an hour by carriage, and the longest will not exceed half an hour. It should have arrived by now."

Liu Yusheng turned her head to look at the sparkling lake under the scorching sun, and sighed softly, "I hope that little girl named Qianyi and all the little girls living in the Holy Witch Clan can escape."

"Some fates are doomed, and you can't escape. The relationship between the holy witch clan and the Xiliang royal family is a matter of Xiliang, and has nothing to do with us. Shengsheng, you worry too much."

"I just said it casually." The woman kicked the toe of the man's shoe, "Do you think the Emperor of Xiliang really prolongs his life? I heard that he is very old. Could it be that he really became an old monster?"

The man shook his head, "Maybe he's old, but he won't be too old. The age should not exceed seventy."

"how do you know?"

Looking up, the man glanced at her, calmly, "It doesn't matter how many young and beautiful girls you pick for him, no matter how old you are."

Liu Yusheng nodded suddenly, "You're right, there's nothing you can do about it."

"..."

The corner of the man's mouth twitched slightly, and Liu Yusheng raised his chin triumphantly at him.

He used to make nasty jokes intentionally or unintentionally in front of her all day long, and she was used to it after listening to it a lot. He thought she would be shy at every turn?

"I underestimated my wife." The man bowed to her.

"It's easy to talk about. If your husband is interested, just let him come here."

The man raised his lips, "Okay."

"...I mean talking about nasty jokes."

"Did I say no?"

"..."

You didn't say it, but you did it.

At this time, a carriage of the Shengwu tribe drove into the surveillance area at the gate of the village, and the people in the carriage were allowed to pass immediately after showing their waist badges.

There was commotion in the village because of the arrival of this carriage.

The palace envoy has arrived.

Not long after he was welcomed into the elders' house, the elders ordered the women of the right age in the village to go to the elders' house for testing and selection.

Because Qianyi already has a guardian, there is no need to go there. But she didn't hide either. Instead, she took Xue Honglian to sneak to the bamboo building opposite the elder's house, climbed up to the second floor, and hid behind the window to peek at the movement in the elder's house.

"That dead old eunuch is really here. I have obviously stolen his holy blood golden silkworm. What will he use to test the purity of bloodline later? Xie Honglin, can you guess it?" He hid his body behind the window sill , Qianyi kept thinking non-stop, and did not forget to ask the man around him for advice.

The man was leaning against the window sill, closing his eyes and resting his mind, ignoring her words.

After many days of contact, Qianyi already knew the dead character of the man, so it was not surprising that he didn't get an answer.

She would be terrified if a man would answer every question he had.

In the elders' courtyard below, girls aged 16 or 17 arrived one after another, and they stood neatly in a row in the courtyard, a total of six people.

Standing in front of them, the elder opened and closed his mouth and didn't know what he was talking about. Qianyi guessed that the elder must be admonishing and teaching the women to remember their mission.

The eyes fell on those women who were about the same age as her, and the light in Qianyi's eyes gradually dimmed.

We are all the same age. Sixteen or seventeen years old was supposed to be the best years of life, but because of the blood in her body, her life would become extremely miserable.

She doesn't understand why they can't have their own lives? Why can they only become furnaces, sacrificing themselves for an old man who is dying?

Just to let that old man live a few more days, a few more months, countless women of the Holy Witch Clan will have to pay for it all their lives.

Why?
