The world of bad people is invincible

Chapter 97
The old man went to the back room, apparently to prepare ingredients.

Li Cunxu didn't wait long, and saw that the old man had already filled four bowls of warm noodles in clear soup, and served them together with a few pickled side dishes.

Seeing that Yang Yan and Yang Miao were frowning, as if they were dissatisfied with the ingredients, the old man smiled apologetically, and said, "Guests, this is a small place with only these, nothing good, don't mind!"

Li Cunxu didn't mind, and said with a smile: "It's okay, these are just right for your taste!"

Although this side was light, Li Cunxu was tired all the way and hungry, so he couldn't help but whet his appetite.Li Cunxu took the bowl, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing that Li Cunxu didn't have any complaints, Yang Yan and Yang Miao didn't complain about the bland taste, so he picked up a bowl of clear soup noodles and started eating.

"My lord, from the accent, the owner of this shop doesn't seem to be from the country of Qi." Li Tai looked at the old man who was already busy at other tables, and said in a low voice.

"Did you meet a strong man?" Yang Miao frowned.

"Do you want to make a move?" Yang Yan held the fiery red sickle beside him.

Li Cunxu shook his head, suppressing Yang Yan who was about to move.He ate a mouthful of noodles with side dishes, took another sip of soup, and then said softly: "How can we say that we are all masters with kung fu, so why make such a fuss? In this world, except for a few great heavenly masters, No one is our match."

Both Li Cunxu and Yang Yan and Yang Miao have mid-level skills, and although Li Tai's skills are not mid-level, he can be considered a master.

Such a group of martial arts is so strong, unless the opponent has a master with the strength of the emperor and the ghost king, no one can win.

As for poisoning, Li Cunxu is not afraid.After all, Li Cunxu ate Jiuyang Zhengqi Pill and Millennium Fire Ganoderma lucidum.

However, Li Cunxu guessed that although his body has reached the level of being invulnerable to all poisons, he should not be able to guard against Miao Jiang's magical witchcraft.

After all, the art of witchcraft does not rely on toxins, but on strange and elusive Gu insects.

At this moment, Yang Miao frowned, and said, "I just heard Brother Li say that, but my subordinates feel that the old man's accent is a bit like someone from Daliang."

Yang Miao has worked beside Zhu Wen, Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Yougui and others for many years, and she is from Liang, so she is very familiar with the accents of Daliang and other places in the Central Plains.

Li Cunxu also frowned when he heard the words: "You mean, they are from Liang Guo?"

Yang Miao nodded and said, "Not bad."

Li Cunxu raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.The state of Qi worshiped the Tang Dynasty, and the state of Liang defected to the Tang Dynasty. The relationship between the two countries was not very good.This Ganzhou belongs to Qi State, and Liang Guo people came to Qi State a little bit by surprise.

But he didn't take it seriously, and said in a low voice: "Although this old man is from Liang, he is not a threat to us, and there should be no danger. As for why they came to Qi country, we can ask him directly."

I just heard Li Cunxu shout: "Old man!"

The old man hurriedly greeted: "Come here!" He said, holding a teapot in one hand, and hurriedly walked towards Li Cunxu.

When Li Cunxu saw the old man approaching, he directly took out some broken silver and asked straight to the point: "You don't look like a local from the old man's accent?"

Although the broken silver is not much, it is still a fortune, the old man did not refuse, nodded after taking it and said: "The little old man is originally from Daliang, because Daliang is really messed up, so he moved here out of desperation."

Li Cunxu frowned, and asked doubtfully, "Is the beam messed up?"

The old man glanced around, saw that no one was paying attention, and said: "Guest officials, the little old man interjected, please don't blame the little old man for talking. Then what kind of bad people forced it."

Li Cunxu frowned when he heard the words, and asked, "Why did the old man say that?"

This old man is obviously a talkative person. Although this kind of national affairs should not be discussed lightly, he still approached and said: "To tell the truth, most of the people here, including the little old man, are actually from the Liangzhou Tongzhou side. The people who came here are all really helpless, so they came here."

"Tongzhou?"

"That's right. The little old man's family of four originally had a few acres of Susukida, so they can live comfortably these years." Having said this, the old man sighed: "But in the past few years, if the government wants to fight Luzhou, it will be difficult for the government to fight the war." It costs money, and the military pay depends on the taxes of the common people. The taxes and corvees collected are too heavy to afford.

In fact, it is not impossible to live like this, the main reason is that some bad people rebelled and assassinated the Emperor of Daliang. I heard that the princes of Daliang are also dead. If no one is in control, the girder will naturally become chaotic.

Without the emperor and the government in Daliang, Jiangshan, the bandits who used to occupy the mountain as king gathered together and went down the mountain to burn, kill, loot and torture everywhere.In just half a month, the little old man's house has been ransacked three times, if the little old man hadn't handed over all the food in the house, his life would have been lost..."

"Your Majesty...Zhu Wenwen and Zhu Yougui are dead?" Yang Yan and Yang Miao blurted out upon hearing the explosive news, which shocked the old man.

Although they had learned from Li Cunxu that Zhu Wen and Zhu Yougui might have returned to the west, they didn't really believe it in their hearts. Now they heard the news from the old man, and they were really surprised.

Li Cunxu was silent at the side.Although what the old man said was not entirely true and his knowledge was short, one conclusion could be drawn from it—the beam was really messed up.

He really didn't expect that the death of Zhu Wen and others would have such a big impact, nor did he expect that those bandits and thieves would plunder the people.It seems that although Zhu Wen is brutal, his deterrent power is still there.

The old man on the side continued to complain: "In the past, although there were some corrupt officials in our local area, we could barely live on. At most, it was just a little more taxation. Now that there is no government, bandits are rampant, and the common people not only If you don’t have enough to eat, you will lose your life... We ordinary people will die of suffering.”

In this day and age, despotism is usually better than anarchic chaos.

If people are allowed to choose between Zhu Wen's brutal dictatorship and an extremely chaotic country, then Zhu Wen's autocratic government seems to be more acceptable to the public.What the old man said was not surprising.

Li Cunxu nodded, and said: "What the old man said is that, in fact, when dynasties rise and fall, it is the common people who suffer."

After hearing Li Cunxu's words, the old man quite agreed, and then said with resentment: "There is chaos all over Daliang, and many people have left their homes to find a way to survive."

Li Cunxu asked: "But this is the country of Qi, my husband is staying in the country of Qi, won't the officials of the country of Qi drive you away?"

The old man hurriedly said: "No, we heard that King Qi has always been benevolent, so we came to Qi State. At first, those officials and lords did not let us settle down in Qianzhou, but later King Qi visited various states and counties. After what happened to us, we were settled in this small town, and these new houses were built for us by order of King Qi." After speaking, the old man had a grateful face.

Li Cunxu was thoughtful when he heard the words, but he didn't expect the empress to visit all over the country of Qi. It seems that she, the king of Qi, has done her best.

The old man glanced at the busy son next to him, and said with some emotion: "His Royal Highness Qi allowed us to settle here, we are already very grateful. The little old man now just wants to make the house better, better looking and stronger, and then Live frugally and save money. As long as you have enough money, the family will save food, and become richer, you will ask your son for a daughter-in-law."

Li Cunxu nodded with a smile, looked at the strong and sturdy son of the old man who was busy in the distance, and suddenly felt emotional.

Maybe they are just ordinary people, but when you think about it carefully, they are indeed the most simple people.As long as they have a shelter, they may be very satisfied.
