God Catch starts with adding points

Lu Bai couldn't help smiling, he wanted to see how much appeal Tang Zhu had.

……

Yongle City.

After Wang'er sent a group of people on the boat and headed for the capital along the river, he turned around and led Huniu's female disciples to get on their horses, and then led a few horses with their luggage away from the pier and headed straight for the wide field. .

They are going to the capital on horseback.

Perhaps influenced by Wang'er, Huniu also wore red clothes, rolling like red clouds in the wind.

The reason why he chose to go to the capital on horseback was not because Wang'er didn't like taking boats, but because of business.

The business in Zhonggu Valley is very big now.

Especially after Lu Bai became the Marquis of Shuobei, and the business routes going north and Yongle City were all in Lu Bai's hands, the business of Zhongshan City became even wider and boundless.

From Beiman in the north to Xishu in the west, there is no exception for their private salt business.

After having the salt ponds in Yanshan and the salt mines in Hongtailang, they have opened up the supply. Although they are not as rich as the enemy, they are still very rich. The silver in the Zhonggu Mountains is piled up like a mountain and they don’t know how to spend it. .

Wang'er's trip to ride a horse is to spend his money.

Different from the severe cold when Lu Bai traveled, now it is the scorching heat season, the scorching sun is scorching the earth, the hot horse's feet dare not rest for a while, and it runs very fast.

These horses were all provided by the horse demon.

Especially the little red horse under Wang'er's crotch, that is a bloody horse carefully selected by the horse demon from among the horses.

However, Wang'er didn't let the little red horse run to its fullest.

In this barren mountain, if she gets out of touch with Hu Niu and the others, and encounters a monster, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In this way, I walked for half a month without eating and sleeping.

Fortunately, they brought enough horses and carried a lot of things, otherwise they would have to suffer.

Along the way, they also encountered monsters several times.

However, no matter how powerful the monsters were, they were vulnerable to the Monster Slaying Sword, so they passed through several cities smoothly, and gradually entered the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty.

On this day, when they were on their way early in the morning, the heat was unbearable after the sun rose. When Wang'er and the others were about to find a shady place to rest, they saw a trick from the woods in front of them.

Wang'er couldn't help being overjoyed that there was a restaurant in this sparsely populated place.

She turned her head to greet everyone, and then went to the front first.

The wine shop has half thatched huts and half tile-roofed houses. The shop in front is built of thatch, and bamboo curtains are used to block each other, which makes the wine shop look very cool.

There are no customers in the restaurant, only a waiter and the shopkeeper.

After hearing the sound of horseshoes, Xiao Er hurriedly stood up to meet Wang'er, and couldn't help being startled when he saw Wang'er in red.

Chapter 455 Sober in the world

"Xiao Er, what are you doing in a daze!"

Wang'er jumped off the horse, let the horse follow behind, and walked quickly towards the wine shop.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Serve the wine, serve the best wine."

Only then did Xiao Er come to her senses, "Oh, yes, yes."

He turned his head and was about to leave when Wang'er stopped her again, "Remember to bring me a jar of wine for this horse too."

Xiaoer looked at the Maxima in surprise, and went back to the shop to prepare.

Wine is home brewed.

Xiaoer picked up a jar of wine and slapped open the mud seal, first sifted two bowls of wine for Wang'er, and was about to feed the horses, when he was surprised to see Wang'er gurgling, he drank the two bowls of wine completely.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes, startled by Wang'er's drinking capacity.

At this moment, the sound of horse neighing came from outside, Huniu and the others followed.

They got out of the carriage, let the horse walk to the stable by itself, and came over wiping the sweat from their brows.

"Elder Sister, you are running too fast, we are not afraid that we will be in danger behind." Hu Niu fanned herself with her hands, trying to cool herself down.

"That's right, Senior Sister, we are going to be eaten by monsters, how do you explain to Master." The female disciple behind said.

They are all from Deer Park, and they are sisters who grew up with Wang'er, so they have no scruples about making jokes.

"Do not worry!"

Wang'er patted the demon-slaying sword beside him, "With this sword, even the old demon from the deep mountain hidden in the old forest will not be afraid if he comes out."

Now the Demon Slaying Sword can kill all the monsters in the half-immortal realm, even monsters in the half-immortal realm, the Demon Slaying Sword is still powerful.

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. I still want to take a good look at what the capital looks like." Hu Niu sat down.

She asked Xiaoer to cut some plates of cooked beef and some vegetables.

By this time Xiao Er had finished feeding the horse wine.

He heard the words and responded, and the shopkeeper brought the dishes over after busying with the bamboo curtain.

"Ah, a few guests, the Murano shop, just, there are just a few things, you can make a living." Xiaoer smiled and put the meat and vegetables on the table.

He seemed to be clumsy, not only had a strange accent when speaking, he was also frightened, and when he was putting the vegetables, he even glanced at the Demon Slayer Sword next to Wang'er.

Wang'er understood immediately, she blinked and looked at Xiao Er, "Monster?"

Xiao Er shuddered, and subconsciously stepped back and took precautions.

"You are a monster, who are you afraid of?" Wang'er laughed, like the spring breeze in March, making people's hearts burst with joy.

She told Xiao Er not to worry, "Although my sword is powerful, it doesn't kill monsters well."

Xiaoer left suspiciously.

He didn't know whether what Wang'er said was true or not, but he knew that the demon-slaying sword in this beautiful girl's hand could definitely cut him to pieces in a single thought.

They monsters have an almost innate instinct for danger.

The sword gave him an intuition that it was very dangerous.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant had already noticed it, which was why he didn't show up for a long time.

"Eldest sister, I heard that you will become the eldest lady of the family when you arrive in the capital. You must not forget us when the time comes." Several playmates joked about Wang'er.

The news that Wang'er is a Mo family's child has long spread.

A few days ago, the Mo family sent someone to Yancheng, wanting to meet Wang'er, but Wang'er refused.

Although her Wang'er surname is Mo, but her Wang'er is Wang'er, any family, any aristocratic family, any wealth is just a cloud, far less happy than she is now.Except for a mother to take care of her now, the rest can be free.

Not only that, but her mother is also acting weird now. When she wrote the letter, there was some guilt in her tone, as if she had done something to offend him.

There were signs of this from before they left.

After thinking about it, Wang'er felt that there was only one answer - they had an affair.

"hiss!"

When Wang'er got this conjecture, Wang'er was taken aback, and then he only felt admiration in his heart, thinking that Lu Bai, a pig, was also very lucky, and even gnawed on his family's extra-large, extra-good cabbage.

As for other emotions, Wang'er really didn't have much.

If she was asked to choose a man worthy of Gu Qinghuan in this world, it seemed that Lu Bai was the only one.

The only one who might be a problem may be her. She has always wanted to marry Lu Bai, but now she has such a thing——

"Forget it, I still don't want to, maybe I've moved on." Wang'er withdrew her thoughts.

At this time, she saw Xiaoer looking at them, and she hesitated to speak.

Wang'er was puzzled, she beckoned Xiao Er to come over, "If you have anything to say, just say it, because you are afraid that we will eat the king's meal?"

Xiao Er hurriedly shook his head.

He cautiously took a step closer, "Who are you going to Hancheng?"

"Hancheng?" Wang'er turned to look at Huniu.

Hu Niu nodded, "According to our footsteps, we are indeed approaching Cold City."

Xiao Er hurriedly waved his hands, "Guest officials, you must never go to the cold city. Girls are being arrested everywhere in there. I heard that the emperor is going to choose a concubine, and many unmarried girls will be arrested by the government."

He knew that Wang'er's demon-slaying sword was powerful, but since he was in business, he naturally knew about many people's affairs in the city, and knew that it was difficult for an individual to resist the court.

Wang'er put down his chopsticks in surprise, "The emperor wants to choose a concubine? When did this happen?"

When they passed the previous city, they hadn't heard about it yet.

Xiao Er didn't know about this, "It must have been a while, some girls escaped from the city one after another a few days ago to avoid being hunted by the government."

Although they are monsters, they have been in business for a long time. Some people who walk this way are familiar with them and feel at ease with them, so some people come to their wine shop to avoid them.

There are even many families who fled the cold city with their families, and stopped at wine shops during the period.

Wang'er was a little puzzled, they really hadn't heard about it all the way here, and wondered if it was just an order?

Xiaoer saw that the news he said seemed to be useful, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I heard from the fleeing family that this incident has caused a storm in the cold city of Macheng, and all the families with daughters in the city seem to have encountered a demon. Married daughter, for fear of being arrested by the government too late."

Some even solicit people on the street, as long as they are innocent and unmarried, they will enter the bridal chamber the day before.

"I heard from an old man passing by that there was a widow in the city. Her daughter was afraid of entering the palace, so she killed herself by killing herself, and the mother also died." Xiaoer sighed.

This appearance is just like a person.

Huniu was puzzled, "Why did you kill yourself? Isn't it good to enter the palace and become a concubine?"

"What do you know?" Wang'er had heard the story of searching for women from the people eight hundred times, so he didn't find it surprising, "It must be a big deal for many people to be selected by the emperor as a concubine. Glory, but this kind of luck is limited to two or three families, if all the beauties in the Southern Dynasty are selected, one from each city will be great, and the rest will all become court ladies."

If these court ladies are lucky, they will spend their lives desolately in the deep palace isolated from the world.

If it's unfortunate, I don't know why the death is unclear.

Poisoned to death, drowned, beaten to death, strangled to death, hanged to death... There are so many ways to die.

I will not be free all my life, and I will serve my master with fear every day, but in the end I will get nothing, "This day is for you, do you like to go?" Wang'er asked Huniu.

Huniu hurriedly shook her head.

This life is not human, even if she is a peasant woman outside, she feels freer than inside.

"You are wrong." Wang'er corrected her.

"If you are a peasant woman, you have to farm the land. Where does your land come from? It is rented by the landlord. At least [-]% of the land you plant is given to the landlord, and you have to pay miscellaneous taxes for the remaining [-]%. All kinds of taxes have to be paid, so that the grain that comes to your hands can be used for a whole year, and the next year's harvest will be good."

"In order to live like this, you can't be lazy, you have to live in the fields." Wang'er said that this is no different from losing freedom in the deep palace.

This is still harvest time.

If the harvest fails, "You, a peasant woman, have to sell your sons and daughters to sell yourself, and the only way left is to be a beggar."

The ultimate way out for beggars is to starve to death.

"So what do you choose between starvation and loss of freedom?"

Chapter 456 The Cold City

Huniu and the others nodded together.

Indeed, if it wasn't for Lu Bai, they might still be huddled in the deer park, and they might all be married now.

They will never have the opportunity to take a look at this magnificent mountain and river.

"Those who choose to escape, at least have the option to escape, at least they have distant relatives outside, or have the ability to live in a foreign country, and the truly poor, they don't even have the option to escape."

Wang'er continued to inspire them.

"What do you think if you were you, what would you do?" she asked.

Huniu and the others looked at each other, it seemed that they were going to be arrested and sent to the palace.

"You said that the emperor is the same. He eats, drinks, and sleeps. He doesn't have long hands or legs. He needs so many people to serve him, and he is alone. Why do he need so many concubines? It's just changing every day. The moon can't be changed."

Huniu complained.
