After completing level 1, Tiandao wants to hire me as CEO?

The winter of Jingsheng's thirtieth year.

Baili Jin, the king of Dasheng, died suddenly, leaving an edict to pass to the crown prince.

Within a few days, rumors spread in the palace that the late emperor was assassinated by the prince.

Just when the rumors were about to stop, the East Palace attendant appeared on the city wall.

Filled with righteous indignation, he detailed the crimes committed by the prince, including falsely accusing the eldest princess of Liyang, who had made tremendous contributions to the Sheng Kingdom in fighting the rebellion and pacifying the border areas.

Then, he jumped down from the city wall.

The rumors became more and more intense, and the prince's reputation for killing the king, killing his father, killing loyal people, and not recognizing his relatives spread throughout the Sheng Kingdom in an instant.

The government and the public were shocked, the army mutinied, and the people were terrified.

King Xuan led his troops directly into Fengdu on the pretext of bringing order to the chaos.

Princes from all walks of life took action upon hearing the news.

For a time, Dasheng was like a raging fire cooking oil.

Liang State, which borders it, took advantage of the empty garrison of Sheng State and raised troops to invade.

It is a pity that the various military kings of the Sheng Kingdom only focused on fighting for power and had no time to fight against the enemy. They all relied on the Gu Ziqi army, which suffered heavy losses due to the treason incident of Princess Liyang, to fight hard.

Without support and food, no matter how powerful the army is, it cannot win.

The yin and yang in the evening urges short scenes, the end of the world is frosty and snowy for a cold night.

The sound of drums and horns at the fifth watch is solemn and solemn, and the shadow of the stars in the Three Gorges wavers.

Gu Ziqi's entire army was wiped out.

Liang Guo's army was as strong as a broken bamboo, and he conquered several cities of Sheng State.

Maybe it won't be long before Dasheng's hometown is no longer his hometown.

……

On the streets of Fengdu, pedestrians come and go in a hurry.

The heavy snow falling in the sky prevented each other from prying eyes.

Xiao Yunyi was wrapped in a thick brown shawl, leaving only a pair of eyes that were different from ordinary people. His leaky cloth shoes sank deeply into the snow, prompting him to slowly pull the swill cart that was as tall as one person.

The back he bent to save effort made him look like an old man whose family was overwhelmed and had to hunched over his old body to seek a chance to survive.

While resting by Fuyun Alley, I found a few more corpses in the pile of debris inside.

I don’t know which city the refugees came from, but they failed to survive the severe winter in Fengdu that had never been seen in a century.

Xiao Yunyi only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.

He put his hands that were blue from the cold to his mouth to breathe, and sighed without much emotion:

"so cold!"

The young man stared blankly at the heavy snow covering the sky and the sun. His eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without even the slightest pity for the deceased.

Not just him, but also pedestrians passing by.

In this turbulent world, ordinary people try their best just to stay alive.

Born as a half-demon, he experienced exile and torture in the prosperous times, and could barely have enough food and clothing in the troubled times.

He is the person least qualified to show mercy.

"After this trip, you can take a rest. I hope there are some vegetarian buns left."

Tingfeng Tower was closed during the day, so after pouring out the last bits of swill from the guests' early morning meals, he could enter a few hours of rest.

Praying that there are still plain steamed buns left in the canteen is his biggest wish today.

War broke out frequently in the Sheng Kingdom. Many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen took their property and fled further south, and some even fled to other countries.

I heard that the owner of Qigui Pavilion was not from Dasheng. After getting the news that Liang State was about to invade, he immediately transferred most of his assets out of the country.

Tingfeng Tower, which is under the Qigui Pavilion and is making money every day, is still open. After all, no matter in prosperous or troubled times, money has boundless power.

At certain times, the wealth of a country that is so wealthy can even influence the outcome of a war.

However, compared to the busiest times, there were many fewer people in Tingfeng Building.

Some fled with the wealthy businessmen and dignitaries who redeemed their bodies;

Some took advantage of the moment when King Xuan entered the capital to confront the prince and ran away;

Some were transferred to other countries and cities by Qigui Pavilion, and became a true portrayal of "business women who do not know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but still sing as flowers in the backyard across the river"...

Xiao Yunyi never thought about escaping. His experience in exile for more than ten years told him that no matter in prosperous or troubled times, there would be no place for him in any city in the world.

Seeing that there were not enough waiters in the building, he volunteered himself and became a servant in Tingfeng Building doing odd jobs.

Although the task is arduous, it is much better than the pain of being a servant, and the pain of starving for nine meals in three days when wandering.

"One, two, three, get up!"

After a short rest, Xiao Yunyi hung the rope on his shoulder and pulled the swill cart away again.

At the end of the morning, he finished yesterday's work and walked towards his residence with food in his arms.

Tingfeng Tower is very big, but only the young men and girls who serve people live in the carved pavilions and pavilions.

The men who work and the maids and servants all live in Pingxi Lane, two streets away.

There are all simple private houses, which are incomparable with the main body of Tingfeng Tower.

Xiao Yunyi was very happy today because his wish came true and he ate vegetarian steamed buns!

The cabbage filling is also mixed with scattered oil residue, which is very fragrant!

But he only ate one, and kept the remaining two carefully in his arms, because he had to take care of a meal at noon.

The snow in the sky is very big, so big that it can enchant people's eyes.

The scattered pedestrians walked more and more hurriedly, trying to find a shelter from the wind as soon as possible to avoid the bone-chilling wind and snow.

The young man looked up and immediately lowered his head.

The hot breath turned into frost in an instant, condensing on the eyelashes and shawl.

He walked towards the small courtyard, one step at a time, one step at a time, and the distance usually took less than a quarter of an hour. It felt like he was wading through mountains and rivers.

At this moment, a figure washed away from the heavy snow appeared at the end of the field of vision.

Her whole body seemed to be made of snow, with ice as her flesh and jade as her bones. Her hair was as long as snow, and even the clothes she wore were the purest color in the world.

She is like a god coming out of the depths of the snow-capped mountains, with her own holy brilliance.

A figure that impressed him deeply but had no way of knowing whether it was true or false suddenly appeared in his mind.

Xiao Yunyi asked herself tentatively in her heart: Is it that god?

During this stunned moment, the woman came to him.

In the vast snow, the cold-faced god stood in front of the embarrassed young man, his deep and mysterious silver eyes facing each other's dull golden eyes.

At this moment, a strange feeling surged into the young man's heart.

Just like a predetermined destiny, it will resume its rotation due to the circumstances.

But before he could think clearly, the woman fell straight over, and her spotless and luxurious dress was tangled with his rough and dirty clothes.

The young man was subconsciously startled, but the woman seemed to have lost consciousness. He had no choice but to endure his strong sense of inferiority and support her.

It was then that he noticed the blood that had not yet dried at the corner of her mouth.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Who can help?"

"Hey--"

He shouted urgently to passers-by.

The strange thing is that even though the woman's appearance eclipses the sky and the earth, the passers-by nearby don't seem to notice her existence.

Xiao Yunyi was very surprised. Could it be that he was the only one who could see her?

Xiao Yunyi finally rescued the person.

Even he himself didn't know that he, who had always speculated on people's hearts with the greatest malice, was actually showing kindness to a person he had never met before.

This is the most bizarre and unreasonable thing he has done in his life.
