The gate of the city was bustling with people coming and going.

Tall city walls stand tall, and the guards at the city gates, dressed in neat uniforms, strictly check people entering and leaving the city.

On both sides of the city gate are bustling markets, with merchants selling various items, and the dazzling array of goods is dazzling.

Street performers performed juggling, attracting people to stop and watch, with laughter and laughter.

In the distance, some people are carrying their bags and preparing to travel far; others are walking hand in hand with relatives and friends, enjoying the time together.

Children were playing among the crowd, adding a bit of vitality to the city gate.

Father Yun also looked at the endless flow of carriages and people below, "Yes, the capital city is the most prosperous place in our Xumi Dynasty."

When Qian Yue heard this, she asked, "Aren't other places prosperous?"

Father Yun nodded seriously and did not hesitate to ask her question because she was a child.

"Yes, child. The world is a big place, and there are many wonders there. Everywhere there will be places of prosperity, but at the same time there will also be places of relative poverty and ruin.

Some people live in bustling cities, indulging in a life of feasting, entertainment, and extravagance; however, others still face hunger, cold, and food and clothing problems even in prosperous cities. "

At this time, Father Yun stretched out his hand and pointed to a corner in the distance.

There stood a little beggar who had just been driven aside by the stall owner.

The little beggar was seen clutching his abdomen with both hands, fearfully avoiding the bustling crowd around him, as if he was deeply afraid that he would soil other people's clothes and be beaten mercilessly.

Qian Yue stared at the little beggar with wide eyes, and shouted in astonishment: "Wow! Look, grandpa, he is almost as tall as his brother. How pitiful...Grandpa, can we give him some money?" Before she finished speaking, Qian Yue began to fumble in her pocket.

"I remember that when I went out today, I had pocket money with me." Qian Yue added.

Father Yun held her little hand, waved to a young general not far away, and said in a deep voice, "Go and bring the little beggar here. Don't hurt anyone."

As soon as the words fell, the young general immediately took the order and left. Qian Yue watched the scene intently and could not recover for a long time.

After a while, the little beggar was taken to the tower.

And my face and hands have been washed.

Father Yun nodded with satisfaction, this young man is good and he can handle things.

The little beggar curled up and stood not far from them, shivering.

Qian Yue struggled to break free from Father Yun's arms and staggered towards the little beggar. However, the little beggar was so frightened that he backed away.

Seeing this, Qian Yue hurriedly shouted: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person! I... I just think you and my brother are a bit... Oops, are you hungry? When I am hungry, my stomach will growl. Woolen cloth."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the little beggar's stomach growling, as if in response to Qian Yue's words.

Qian Yue's words stopped abruptly. She quickly lowered her head and untied the small bag tied around her waist.

This exquisite bag is filled with snacks prepared by Yunxin for her.

Qian Yue carefully took out two candies and two pastries wrapped tightly in paper, and then handed them to the little beggar.

"Little brother, these are all mine. If you are hungry, feel free to eat. I will still have some after eating." Qian Yue said as she took a step closer to the little beggar again.

But what confused her was that the little beggar didn't reach out to take the food. Instead, he kept shrinking back, seeming to be full of fear of her.

Faced with this situation, Qian Yue suddenly became at a loss.

She stood there blankly, holding candies and pastries in her hands, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Father Yun, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but frown when he saw this. He took two steps forward and said, "The princess has given you a reward. Why don't you thank me quickly and accept it."

When the little beggar heard this, his face was full of astonishment. He knelt down and kowtowed in a hurry, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess! Thank you so much for your great kindness!"

After he finished prostrating, he stretched out his trembling hands and carefully caught the food handed over by Qian Yue.

When the little beggar opened the paper package with joy, a tempting aroma hit his nostrils, but because he was too eager and nervous, he actually stuffed the whole pastry into his mouth.

However, because he ate too much, he was choked and couldn't breathe for a while.

The young general standing by shook his head helplessly, then took out his kettle from his arms, found a small bowl, poured out half a bowl of water and handed it to the little beggar.

The little beggar looked at the young general with gratitude, then quickly took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking the water, he finally felt that the blockage in his throat disappeared, as if he had been given a new lease of life.

At this moment, the little beggar looked down at the two candies left in his hand, but suddenly became a little hesitant, as if he no longer had the courage to put them in his mouth.

At this moment, Qian Yue asked curiously: "What is your name? Where is your family?"

Faced with such a question, the little beggar's eyes dimmed for an instant, and then he fell to his knees with a plop, and replied in a crying and slightly hoarse voice: "Reporting to Your Highness the Princess, the villain's name is Cheng Xuan. I fled here from the distant town of Mudu. Unfortunately, my parents and relatives have passed away long ago, and now only this little person is left..." After saying this, tears welled up in his eyes.

Qian Yue said quickly, "What, why are you so pitiful?"

Father Yun seemed to suddenly recall something, and his voice became low and serious: "Mudu Town... do you know that there is Doctor Xu there?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Cheng Xuan's eyes, and he replied excitedly: "Yes, Doctor Xu is my godfather!"

Father Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself.

Luoluo mentioned this strange experience after returning from southern Xinjiang, but she never expected that the legendary Xu Yuanzheng actually existed in Mudu Town.

"Did you come alone to such a distant place?" Father Yun stared at Cheng Xuan, thinking of the long road between Mudu Town and the capital, and frowning.

Cheng Xuan nodded silently, tears welling up in his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly as he recounted the unbearable past: "After the Empress left, a group of men came, they looked ferocious and threatened to take Doctor Xu's life.

Dr. Xu hurriedly led us to hide, but in the end we could not escape their clutches. At that moment, Grandpa stepped forward and risked his life to protect me and Grandpa Xu, but was eventually killed..."

Speaking of sadness, Cheng Xuan couldn't help but burst into tears. Seeing this, people around him kept silent, unwilling to disturb the child who was immersed in grief.
