Rebirth: Picking up a beggar and being attacked

After that, the little boy told them about the actual situation in the Southwest. He was a child and didn't know much, but judging from his description, the people here were more miserable than Mu Ruixi imagined. I frowned.

The little boy said that he went to catch a rabbit because he saw a rabbit. When he realized it, he had already separated from his parents. Such a young child could not remember which way he walked.

After all, it's a human life. Instead of letting him wander around in the forest and be eaten by wild beasts, it's safer to let him follow them. Moreover, Mu Ruixi also wants to know more details from his parents.

On the way afterwards, the two took the little boy with them, and helped the little boy find his parents by the way.Fortunately, the little boy and his parents hadn't been away for a long time. Mu Ruixi helped him find his parents by relying on his keen sense of hearing as a martial arts practitioner. At the same time, he also saw a group of refugees.

When the boy saw his parents, he rushed over and cried in their arms, "Father, mother, I, I thought I would never see you again!"

"You child, I told you not to run around, but you just didn't listen." His father kept reprimanding him, but his mother kept saying, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

The family of three huddled together, and the people around wiped their tears when they saw it.

"I really want to thank you two young masters." The gray-haired, disheveled old man walked up to the two of them, bent down and thanked them.

"You don't have to be polite, old man." Mu Ruixi hastily raised his hands to support the old man slightly, "Are you the townspeople of Pinghu Town?"

After hearing this, the old man sighed, "Now we have been kicked out by Liu Shichang, and we can no longer be regarded as the townspeople of Pinghu Town. Pinghu Town no longer exists. Sigh..."

The townspeople on the side said: "Mayor, don't give up so early, as long as we report to the emperor in the imperial city, the emperor will uphold justice for us!"

"But we are so far away from the imperial city, and we don't have much to eat in the woods. I'm afraid, we'll just..." the old man shook his head.

Mu Ruixi was very surprised to hear the old man's identity mentioned by others, "You are the mayor, old man?"

The mayor, however, sighed, "It is no longer the case, so Liu Shichang should have accepted his fate as the new mayor. What kind of Pinghu town is Pinghu town with a group of barbarians in it?"

"A group of barbarians live here? Isn't it just a matter of taxation?" Mu Ruixi narrowed his eyes and thought: Sure enough, there are other things.

"The reason why Liu Shichang collected so much tax is that on the one hand, he wants to embezzle some taxes himself, but on the other hand, he wants to show respect to the barbarians! Alas... it's fine for him to let the barbarians live in the town, but ours All the food was taken away by those barbarians, really, I, an old man, feel heartbroken!" The village head beat his chest, and wept as he spoke.

"How unreasonable! You actually bowed your head to the barbarians! Even the prefect Shao Guangqiao did the same?"

"That's right, they said that the barbarian soldiers were strong and they couldn't fight, so they had to use some money to pay tribute."

"Pigs and dogs are not as good as dogs, I really insulted my people from Mu country!" Mu Ruixi was so angry that he clenched his hands tightly, and his joints were "clicking".He thought to himself: No wonder the barbarians in Hong Bin City can come and go freely, and it is the same when they want to come there, but it is closer to the imperial city, and the magistrate dare not do too much.

Because of anger, Mu Ruixi's surroundings were suddenly filled with low air pressure, and the refugees felt abnormally oppressed instantly, and their backs were covered in cold sweat, and the eyes looking at Mu Ruixi inevitably became a little more frightened.

It was the well-informed old village head who calmed down first, "Aren't the two sons going to the southwest?"

Mu Ruixi nodded, "Exactly. We came from the imperial city and wanted to visit the southwest, but we didn't expect that the southwest of my country, Mu, would look like this. It's chilling."

"It's worth going. Now Liu Shichang and Shao Guang are afraid that the prince will go to inspect and spend a lot of money on renovations. Now the city is full of rich people. If you go, you should still have a good time." the mayor said.

After hearing this, Mu Ruixi said: "But I just want to see the authentic Southwest people's sentiments. Even if I read them, I don't think it's very interesting."

"This……"

"The mayor is going to the imperial city to file a complaint, right?"

"That's true, but the imperial city is far away from our place, I'm afraid..." The mayor shook his head and sighed again.

"The mayor doesn't have to worry, you just need to go straight along this road, and someone will help you, and your group will enter the imperial city safely." Mu Ruixi pointed to the way he and Zhan Yi came. .

The mayor looked along this road, but it was just an ordinary road. Why did the young man in front of him say that there was an expert to help him?

"This... dare to ask who is the young master?"

"It's just a passenger going to the southwest. Mayor, please take the people from your town on the road." Mu Ruixi put his hands behind his back, turned around and continued heading southwest, "Zhan Yi, let's go."

"Oh." Zhan Yi hurriedly took Xiao Hui and followed behind him, "Then everyone, goodbye, it's right to listen to what the young master said."

A circle of refugees looked at the backs of the two and looked at each other.

"Mayor, who are they? They look weird and mysterious."

"Anyway, they are not simple people. Just do what they say." The mayor looked back at the backs of the two of them again, and led a group of people to continue walking in the direction of the imperial city.

Mu Ruixi, who was walking forward, kept listening to the movement behind him with his ears. After hearing that the masters following him were missing two, he finally felt relieved and strode forward.

Along the way, he saw refugees one after another, all of them ragged and skinny. Mu Ruixi looked at them and secretly scolded Liu Shichang and Shao Guangyu, these two bullying officials, and vowed to kill them with his own hands. head.

Finally, the small roads converged to the main road, and Mu Ruixi didn't want to find other small roads, but the mainland was full of officers and soldiers, so if he went out like this, his identity would be exposed quickly, and he didn't want to be caught by those two dogs so early. The officer saw through his identity.

Corruption and bribery?No one gave them the courage. Even if they were threatened by barbarians, they would not dare to bring out so many refugees. In his last life, he made friends with a monk in the Wushan Temple in Liangpei City. Although the monk was in the temple, he and Pound Same, it is Liang Peicheng's know-it-all, but I went to him seven or eight years earlier, I don't know if he is still a monk at this time.

"Zhan Yi."

"Young Master, do you have any orders?"

"After leaving this path, you are the young master and I am the servant."

"Eh?"

Zhan Yi tilted his head and looked at Mu Ruixi suspiciously, "Master, I don't understand."

The way he tilted his head in doubt was really funny, Mu Ruixi couldn't hold back, and rubbed his hair, "Anyway, do as I say, and call me Zhan Tian."

"Okay. Zhan Tian." Zhan Yi said obediently.

"After entering the city, you don't need to talk, I will do everything." Mu Ruixi pulled out a scarf from his cuff to cover his face.

"Yes." Zhan Yi replied.

After the path was removed, he became a young master who was riding on Xiao Hui with Big Hui in his arms, and Mu Ruixi changed into a relatively simple-looking outfit and became a servant waiting on the side.

Having never ridden a donkey before, Zhan Yi was very uncomfortable. He twisted his body and whispered in Mu Ruixi's ear: "Master, I'm not used to you walking on the ground."

"It's Zhan Tian, ​​not the young master." Mu Ruixi reminded.

"Oh, Zhan Tian, ​​I'm not used to sitting on Xiao Hui."

"Be patient."

"Master."

"It's Zhan Tian." Mu Ruixi reminded again, looking at Zhan Yi with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm used to it, I'm sorry, young master." The relationship along the way was closer than that in the palace, and Zhan Yi shouted like this all day, so he was used to it, "Oh, no, Zhan Tian, ​​I'm uncomfortable sitting. "

"Be patient, I won't sit in the city anymore."

"Yes." After Mu Ruixi said that, Zhan Yi had no choice but to bear it, but the back pad on the donkey really made him very uncomfortable. When he was a beggar before, he could bear anything, but now he is a little bit Kudu, it seems that he was spoiled by the young master, Zhan Yi sighed in his heart, pulled himself together, and told himself in his heart that he must endure and not cause trouble for the young master.

After traveling like this for a while, Mu Ruixi saw the officers and soldiers that the refugees said. There were very few people going to the southwest along the way, and the officers and soldiers naturally had to interrogate them when they saw them.

"Who are you?" The officers and soldiers stopped them and asked.

"I'm Zhan Tian, ​​and this is our young master Zhan Yi. We came from Hongbin City and want to go to the southwest." Mu Ruixi said without a heartbeat. Zhan Yi did not follow Mu Ruixi's instructions. Say anything, just look at the two officials almost nodded.

The officials looked at the two of them up and down, and saw that the clothes on the two were expensive, and Mu Ruixi had an indescribable temperament, so he naturally believed their words.Still, there will be some questioning.

"That's good, what are you going to do in the southwest instead of living in Hongbin City?" asked the official.

"The young master wants to see what the barren land is like, but I have no choice but to take him out secretly."

The officers and soldiers laughed and said, "Then you will be punished when you go home."

"The young master has never been out of the house. It is good to take him out to see the world. As long as he returns safely, the master and wife will not punish him too harshly."

"You can't go out of Liangpei City to the southwest. To the west of Liangpei City is a barbaric land, where there are barbarians, and the Mu people who have gone there will never return." The officers and soldiers reminded.

Mu Ruixi frowned, "Isn't the gate to the wild land blocked?"

"It was just a year ago, and now the city gate is wide open, and the barbarians often enter and exit whenever they want..." Before the officer could finish speaking, he was slapped by the officers and soldiers beside him, " What are you talking about so much! If the high school lieutenant finds out, you will definitely be too hungry to walk around."

"I didn't say anything. They passed by, so I can see it naturally." The officers and soldiers shrugged their shoulders.

"In the past two days, I heard that the prince is coming to inspect, but the gates of the city have already been raised."

"Didn't you say that too?"

"I……"

There are such incompetent people in the army of my country Mu!Mu Ruixi looked at the two foolish people in front of him. If he was a general, he would have punished them long ago, but now he still has to act as a servant, "You two officials, can we leave?"

"Okay, okay, let's go." The two were still arguing about the city gate, so they naturally ignored Mu Ruixi and Zhan Yi.

In this way, Mu Ruixi led Xiao Hui's rope forward, but in his heart he became more and more disappointed with the generation in the Southwest, not to mention the military and military officers here, it seems that they all have to be replaced.
